Not looking for pain, man.
. Ignorance is bliss....
I used to have a M98 .30-06.- bore pitted to hell, but once it had 15 rounds through it, it shot 1.25 MOA. Killed a ton- several tons, actually, of moose and caribou with the thing. I only cleaned about every 3 years. Mildly....
Loaned it to a brother- he pawned it for couchie money.
I miss that old gun- she was named "Jezebel".
She'd been around the block a time or two, her action was a bit loose, but if you held her tight and squeezed her gently, you could get her off and make your meat go limp.
I'd take her backpack caribou hunting 10-12 miles from the trail-head. Didn't mind stashing her under a log for a week or 3 if I didn't score the first trip.
