Excellent bore and crown! Should be an A1 shooter.
How about taking a look at the bolt face? If that also looks almost new, and the butt plate has not been scarred by square-bashing, then you have what I call an "armory mint" rifle - i.e. basically unused, but banged around in the racks, transport and storage for decades. They are the best value for money for shooters, as the dings put off collectors, but have absolutely no effect on performance.

Patrick...I took a look at the bolt face and it looks pretty good. The butt palte is pretty well mint also.
I'll post some pictures of both.

I made a quick stop at the range this morning and fired a few rounds through the new Persian. My eyes have trouble with the "inverted triangle" Mauser sights, and the target wasn't the best, but here are 5 rounds of Prvi 8x57 "match" ammo @ 100 yards.
I think I could do a bit better with reloads.
Paul, the sight graduations are in Farsi and I'll take a pic before I put the rifle back in the safe.

Very good for a first target. The Mauser "pitched roof in a V" sight picture is tough. If you are what one might term "vintage" or "veteran" you need shooting glasses to get the best out of those rifles. And that squared target is for scopes, not open sights. Try again with a good old 8" round black and 6 o'clock hold, it may well be easier and produce a better group.

Thanks, Patrick. I like to shoot at a black circle on a white background, but had no such targets today. Now that I know where it is hitting, I can make up a few circular targets.
Also, I've had good luck with 45.0 grs of IMR 4064 with a 200 gr Nosler .323 bullet...might give that a try.
Paul...here is your pic of the rear sight.

Looks like a shooter for the CMP Vintage Rifle Matches!

I'll try and get to the range this week and shoot some reloads at a better target. I believe the results will be better.
