While my early Marlin 39a can easily keep 5 shots under a dime @ 50yds with it's peeps sight & my 70-year-old eyes, IMHO it's an unreasonable expectation to think a rifle with a two-piece stock can be as accurate as one with a one-piece stock.
My pre-A Model 52 sporter will easily place those same 5 shots @ 50yds in one small ragged hole.
