OK, I'll play

M1896 Swedish Mauser (receiver stamped 1918)
6.5x55mm

Barrelled action sporterized by Kimber
Butler Creek synthetic stock
Weaver 2-10x Scope

I've been hunting with this rifle for more than 15 years. I've flirted with others, but keep coming back to the Swede.
And she can shoot!!
I know the prone group is high/right, but it was shot from prone without a bipod or rest. And I always seem to pull up and right when shooting like that.
