I'll get an accuracy baseline before I post pics, and put it all up at the same time here. I will test at 50 yards with at least 2 ammo types, probably 3 types.

I get a kick out of youth and survival type single-shot rimfires, and combo guns like Savage 24s. Except for the AR7, which I found to be a jammomatic.

Oh, and the way I acquired this... bid on it on gunbroker just for fun, thinking my bid would be too low and I wouldn't win. I bid $165. Shipping was $20, and FFL was $15, so it's to my hands for $200 even.

And the more I think about it, the more I think I will fashion a wooden buttplate - should be fairly easy. Will use both a press-fit and epoxy for the wire frame to go into it.

But first it's gotta shoot 4 MOA (I decided); else I will sell. So I need a 2" 5-shot group at 50 yards - anyone placing odds? Ha ha. Going to the range tomorrow.
