As an iron sight rifle it's very accurate (I have replaced the damaged front sight with a new brass ball type) I can hit a leaf at 75 yards so it's not half bad at all.. I know the old factory was bombed and they rebuilt a new factory at Ulm after 1946 so hopefully the rifle was made using new machines and that accounts for the high build quality.
Perhaps someone can tell me more.. the extractor and front sight have been made to high standard and function as they should. the sling is mounted using the same vee grouve as the front sight. I do not have the origional strap either but its an excellent bolt acion rifle that warrants a scope if its not sacriligeous to fit one and destroy it's value...
