Very nice. Thinking about going to 18-20'' but she shoots great now at current length.

How sturdy is that scope mount? Looks like it wouldn't take much of a bump to mess things up.

Held by 2 screws and is arched so it fits to the shape of the receiver. I am making a spacer to fit under the open part of the rail then screw it to receiver.

I got a 1943 Win 52 eighteen months ago for $700.
I have not shot it yet, but I can tell winchester did a nice job on design and build.

congrats you guys for getting out and shooting.
