All I can say is WOW, what a write-up!! I agree; you should be hired by several shooting rags...
But in any case, I'm very happy to hear the rifle is working well for you and is in the condition you wanted.. I usually do not keep any firearm that's less than 95% - yours was rated at 98% and I just did a little trigger work on it, not a full job..
I love the 7X57 - still have two rifles in that chambering and will probably keep 'em.. I think they'd make very good northern Wisconsin deer hunting rifles..
Thank you for the kind words, the excellent write-up and your purchase... I hope it gives you decades of pleasure and use..
