Persian Beauty

[Ovidio]

Well, Gentlemen, here one of my favourite rifles.
I wanted to go shoot her today, but yesterday I had a very long evening with friends, baking a zillion pizzas in my wood oven, so today was not really the best day to get out and shoot....
Too tired.
So, once I finished the necessary chores to clean up home, the dishes etc., I took her out and made a few pictures.
If I'm not gonna shoot her, at least let me touch her a bit.
Here she is.
Matching in all numbered parts: barrel, bolt, stock.
The rifling is as new, the bolt tight and precise as can be. I doubt this baby shot more than a couple hundred rounds in all her life.
The front sight is just too short to shoot well at 200 meters. At 100 I can aim at the bottom of the black target and hit the bullseye, but at 200 I have to aim below the target, so I added (just as an experiment) a short pole, one mm longer.
This way I had very good results.
I never shot it again after that time, but tomorrow......
