Default Kimber Swedish Mauser Conversion

I traded into a Swedish Mauser that states on the barrel that it was sporterized by Kimber of America in Clakamas, Oregon. It is in 6.5x55 caliber and has a Ram-Line synthetic stock. It also has a low scope safety and the bolt is modified to clear a scope. The barrel is 22" and it has a satin blued finish. I had no idea that Kimber did any military conversions. It is a very well done rifle in like new condition. It had a Tasco 3x9 World Class scope on it when I got it but I have since replaced it with a 3x9 Redfield Widefield. The only thing that I want to do before shooting it is to swap the 2 stage military trigger for a single stage Bold or Timmany trigger. I have wanted a 6.5x55 rifle for a long time. It will be interesting to see how it shoots. I have high hopes. The surplus Swedes are usually pretty accurate. Has anyone shot one of these?
