Have you ever owned a magic rifle?

I'm getting things in order for my will. I asked a shooting /hunting buddy what he'd like to have of my belongings when the time comes. He said he had fond memories of my m96 swede. Cool, he appreciates it! No  collector value, I put a new surplus barrel and a reciever sight on it.
While it shot 2 or 3 moa from the bench, it somehow seemed better than that offhand with a sling. Potato sized rocks at 175 were almost a sure thing. It really liked Sierra 140 btsp over imr4895  or 4064.
I'm guessing it was the balance and the ridiculous sight radius .
You'd laugh at my method of cutting the shoulder of the barrel for headspacing .  It was similar to the Khyber Pass gunsmiths with hand tools, but it worked well.    

Yep magic!! That is a very cool rifle you have there.

I have one in a 700 Varmint 223. Nothing fancy but in the last 150 rounds fired it's killed 155 prairie dogs. It has not missed a PD in the past 100 rounds shot. I take it every time and allow myself 50 shots with it before it rotates out.
