Keep in mind that the Weaver 29 scope is worth quite a bit in its own right! You did great, and the gun is altered just enough that you don't need to feel guilty shooting the heck out of it!
(The bolt and locking system on the much later Win 9422 and 9322M are near copies of Mr. Johnson's Win 61--the 9422 is a "lever operated pumpgun." One reason it's so smooooooth!).
