I had 3 pre-64s, 2 scoped, 1 with irons. The scoped guns were a .257 Roberts with a Redfield Widefield 3-9X and an '06 with a "Bearcub" (?) 4x in a tip-off mount. The iron sighted gun was a .375 H&H with a SN in the mid 650s.
The .257 and '06 were roughly 1-1/4" guns at 100 yards with their preferred loads. The .375 was minute of coffee cup at 50 yards .. I never really pushed it past that. They were good for their time, good for what their owners expected. They wouldn't be bragging guns in the accuracy department today.
Tom Quite comical.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Tom Perhaps you should have (sic) pushed them? Or "operator error" comes to mind.... ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/TccC0eI.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/f3qZyDj.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/y2USQNh.jpg)

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
