After 51 years of looking and searching I finally found and bought a Winchester Model 52C Sporter, so my gun buying days are over until I move several mod 70's that are surplus to my needs, In spite of that promise to myself I would have scratched up the 750. you paid for your gun just because it was well worth that money being scoped.When you start adding mounts, base and rings, a decent Leupold scope ( I wish I could know how many deer I have nailed with a vxll 3x9 Leupold) you are in the gun at about 600 bucks. Clean the gun up and Im willing to bet it will shoot an inch or better with pet ammo! Ya done good my friend! v best WinPoor
