There is just something about this rifle, makes me smile every time I pick it up. A large part of that is this rifle was owned by a close friend, one of "the family".

The open sights just seemed easy to shoot that day on that rifle - not sure why. The notch and bead diameter went together perfectly.
The first group of 1.798" prompted me to adjust the slider in the 3/4 buckhorn and shoot the other, a 4-shot group closer to the bull, but low and same amount right.
I had only fired 3, then looked and they appeared around 1 1/2", thus firing the 4th shot, which opened them up only a smidgen to 1.632".

I usually do fairly well benching a rifle but embarrassed myself when I shot with Curly at his home range in Virginia. I didn't do very well, not as well as I thought I would.
Back in the 70's a couple BR (stool) shooters gave me some tips that help, mostly posture related.
