If you're anything like me, you're prone to falling into bad habits and practices without realizing it. My most accurate rimfire is a Model 52 repro, and I have found that getting the best out of it is very demanding. I have to consciously make myself grip the rifle the same and make sure I'm not pushing the buttstock to maintain sight (scope) alignment. If I do everything right, I can get five shots in a quarter-inch or less at fifty. But if I'm being sloppy, groups over a half-inch are not uncommon.
