That's extremely nice. I'd be proud to own that one. Good score PSH!!! It will probably shoot as good as it looks.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

That's a Beauty PSH, I think you did good... 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...

So do I shoot it? There is absolutely no blass transfer from anything going through it. 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.

Very nice! I shot my 52A Sporter with it's old Zeiss 2.5X scope at the club sized (1/2 size) targets at our last silhouette match. 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.

They were just made right back in the day.

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 looks like it’s incredible shape. I would shoot it without a doubt, but others will have different opinions.

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!

Jsg, thanks a whole bunch for posting the pics for me. It is in fantastic shape. 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
