Not that we could have even afforded a quality 1” scope with our adolescent incomes, but I’ll bet a good scope on that Chuckster sure would have made into a better varmint rifle.



Ha ha. Ya think? My chuckster shoots 3/8" 10 shot groups at 50 yards, with the ammo it likes. Mounting a scope is simple too, no need for special mounts. Right now it wears target irons though:

My dad wore this rifle out when he was a kid, but I replaced all the critical parts like extractor, ejector and all the springs. Works like a new rifle now and still shoots good.
