Has the trigger group been polished.?

No, it still has the original (felt) mile-long creep until the shot breaks somewhen. The only alteration has been to take off the PU scope and mounting*, replace with a modern scope on a new mounting, discover that the result wasn't so hot, and ruefully put the PU+mounting back again! It is one of those rare rifles where I am afraid that changing anything will make it worse, so the urge to "improve" must be resisted.

*whereby I was very careful to loosen only one of the vertical clamping screws on the mounting - the bottom one - in order to be able to replace the PU without losing the height setting.

I trust you restaked the screw after you got done fiddling. If not it can and most probably will work loose after a few shots resulting in vertical stringing. That would surely cause a cussing fit if it happened during a match.

Your trust is unfortunately misplaced But I do have very good screwdrivers!
