Posted: 03 Sep 2016 18:39
Went to the local gun show and scored a Holy Grail gun of mine today! The price was right and I took it home. Spent about two hours cleaning it up and getting it in proper condition to try out. It had lots of gunk and original cosmolene grease inside. The fellow had never cleaned it that I could tell.
Any way I got it right and went outback to try it out at 25 yards and then at 75 yards. After getting the sights close at 25 and then fine tuning them at 75 I then shot a single 14 shot group as quickly as I could load and fire. It measured a nice round 1.5"! With Old Winchester Wildcat loads! I then shot a load of 15 Federal Match rounds which printed a sweet 1.2" group! So for 50 year old eyes on open sights I am quite pleased.
This one is going to be with me for a while ai think!
