Old sporter rifles still shoot!

[Cbashooter]

I've been trying to get back to position shooting and spending a couple night a week at the 50' indoor range.
Mostly it's been with my Martini MK2 or Remington 40x.
I had took a new shooter and brought along my old Remington 341-P with peep sights as it was lighter and just a plinking gun. With a big old rear peep aperture and a post front the groups were pretty impressive considering considering the light gun and the not match grade trigger.and with cheap ammo to boot!

Excellent! Good to see the ol’ gal has still got it.

They sure do. I have Remington 510P that was made several years prior to the Federal serial number requirement. Despite the zillion pound trigger at 25 yards it shots tiny little groups. Under a dime is normal with Rem Golden HP. I would love to see how it would group at 50 it's with a scope and real trigger. I think the barrel is excellent.

My old sporter will keep up with most anything new, plus it still looks sharp.

I have a chance to buy a similar t bolt.
I'm on the fence so far it sounds like they are good shooters so what you're saying.

I think they are great, this is an older Tbolt from the mid to late 1960s. The only improvement that it needs is a better trigger. A friend of mine has a lefty in the next higher grade (upgraded stock) , it is a shooter as well.

That's great.... Ya know I have my grandmother's old .22 I grew up shooting and it over 60-70 years must have a new cars worth of .22 rounds through it.... I actually cleaned it very very well a few years ago and could feel what all those rounds had done to the barrel.... It's nuts because it still shoots great... It's a semi automatic and the only thing is it broke a firing pin once.... I wonder if all the nice .22 I have bought over the years will last as long.... I seriously doubt it , they will at least me though at this point...
