Well, it shoots! After 4 sighters to get POI to shake hands with POA, I shot four 3 shot groups at 50yds with the Redfield receiver sight. The first two groups each went 7/8". Then the third opened up into an isosceles triangle with each leg measuring an even 1". The fourth was a clover leaf, just a hair over 3/8", and I decided to quit on a high note. I'm ecstatic, and wondering what this old gun would have been able to do back when I had younger eyes. I wish that I was more computer savvy so I could post photos of my targets. Maybe my wife can help me with that.

Also, I kept a close eye on the very slight crack near the tang, and there was absolutely no change after 16 rounds.
