My sporterized Springfield shoots right up there with my Winchester pre-A 52 Sporter, grouping 50 rounds of CCI Std. Velocity into one ragged hole at 50 yds.. My rifle has the NRA style stock and wears a 2 1/2x Lyman Alaskan in a Griffin & Howe mount. The barrel has been shortened to 22" and a Lyman banded ramp sight replaces the military original, the stock has been checkered in a classic point pattern.
