The problem with old rifles is that they are to quote Forrest Gump, "like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get".
I have an old Remington 513T match rifle, which is a tack driver. With that in my head, I started looking for a 51x series rifle to get to teach my son to shoot. Ended up with a "Scoremaster" 511, was in pretty good shape, and I got it for a decent price.
Took it to the range, and at 50 yards, with any ammo I tried, it shot a dinner plate sized group, about a foot to the right. Still don't understand it, the rifling looked good, the crown was fine, and the barrel looked perfectly straight.
Got rid of it, now I am looking at a Ruger American Rimfire. That will probably be under the tree this Christmas.
