Old girl still shoots. 5 x 5 @ 0.613
Pulled out old faithful for a trip to the range today. This was my very first bolt gun that I bought for myself when I was 21 (used 10 in 223), and put what glass I could afford at the time... crappiest POS Simmons 3-9x50 you can imagine... I think the eye relief is about 1/8" deep, the FOV is horrendous, and the reticle looks like it's the thickness of my finger. Not a single thing has been touched on this rifle... stock flexes 1/4" if you sneeze within 5' of it, the bolt lift will rotate the rifle right off the table, and the trigger feels like 20 ft/units of beast. I've thought many times about tearing it apart & rebuilding it, but I just don't have the heart to... After coming off of a chassis built rifle, this is about the most grotesque thing to sit behind and shoot, but she's still my first.
