I had a mint 4” 63 with factory smooth target stocks, couldn’t hit a damn thing with it. I determined that it just didn’t shoot for beans. My 2” square butt M36 would shoot circles around it. I swapped it off for something I don’t even remember now. Maybe you just got a lemon like mine.

I do know that I’ve seen very few people who could consistently shoot a bearcat well enough to decapitate grouse or squirrels. They’re very small and light and hard to master. The Single Six I find much easier to shoot well. Maybe a Wrangler would make a good mix of Single Six size and Bearcat weight.

K22s and Ruger or Browning autos are almost always accurate and easy to shoot well.
