That is a great little rifle.A good friend of mine who is a gun junkie has several and every time we get together we shoot several hundred rounds through them.
My 22 is an old Remington FieldMaster 572 pump.It will drive tacks at 25yrds with open sights.
He scored expert in the army with the Garand which is not surprising. I remember when we were really little, he would take his Remington Scoremaster model 513 and literally drive a series of nails into boards with it.
He would take large acorns or hickory nuts, throw them in the air and plug them with the .22. He seldom missed. Oddly enough, he had to throw them himself. If someone else threw them he was likely to miss. My Brother has that rifle now and it is just as sweet a shooter as ever.
I used to be considered a survivalist/gun nut, but after 9/11 and New Orleans my friends consider me a realist and role model.
