As for the Miroku 52 i found, Although i want it, I slept on it and decided i want my $1200 more... Uncertain times ahead and there's already an anschutz, a Rem 541s and a Wthrby Mark XXII in the house... Thank's all for for the encouragement anyway...

What appears to be factory grease on the bolt, lol. BSA, I know what you're gonna say, well hel, ya, lol. Normally I'd slap a leupy on it, but, that reddfield is nice, and, old school too.

Seriously thinking about putting a 25X Leupold on it and shooting it next season instead of my Anschutz. The Winchester is every bit as accurate and I think I like the single stage trigger better than the two stage. If something on the internet makes you angry the odds are you're being manipulated

They were just made right back in the day. Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style.

If you want, you should be able to take the first stage out of your Anschutz trigger through the adjusting screws. I know it can be done on the 5018 2 stage I have. Great trigger. Too close for irons, switching to scope...

It's a 1712 and while I think I can make the first stage pressure virtually nil, I've not found how I can convert this to a proper single stage but always willing to learn!

I think a guy would be hard pressed to find one much nicer, its too bad grandpa didn't keep the box. I want to shoot it, I just hate when I occasionally take possession of an old one that I feel like is almost too nice for me, lol. The two that come to mind were a pre 64 fwt 243 that was like new, and the other was a 61 that I don't think had been shot. I do wish I had that 61 back though, letting it go was kinda dumb, lol.

No problem at all. I’m a sucker for eye candy like your rifle. And think it would be a shame to not be able to show it off. You’ve got to go with your gut on how to proceed with it… but I know what I’d do, haha
