All the things are there for an accurate rifle....heavy long hammer forged freely floating barrel. Action hung trigger with crisp two stage, good sights. But we're talking about a 1970's target rifle based on a 1930's receiver, with 1940's sights. Not a lot has changed in the grand scheme of things technically...but you'd want to think they're making more accurate target rifles in the 40 years since.
Thank you sir. All other things remaining equal, I have heard rear locking lugs on the bolt is a disadvantage.
