    Range Report--2 Underwoods

    I took the twins to the range last weekend and thought I'd share the results of a 50-yard sight-in for each. I ran 30 rounds through each off the bench, measured to the center of the group from the point of aim. Both resulted in about a 4" group at 50 yards, and impacted high, which I expected. The ammo was a mixed-bag. I was trying to use up several partial boxes, so there was no consistency to the ammo.
    Both are 1943 Underwoods, from the same serial number block. One is factory-original as near as I can tell, with all early features, and the other is a classic post-war rebuild, with all late features.

    Factory-Original: Center of group was 3" above the point-of-aim, and 12" to the right. No horizontal sight adjustment possible, and I used the "150 Yard" aperture on the sight.

    Post-War Rebuild: Center of group was 3" above the point of aim, and pretty much spot-on horizontally after the first few rounds. I had to adjust the sight pretty far to the right to move the point of impact to be above the point of aim, and used the lowest/150-yard setting vertically.

    I managed to delete the photos of the targets, but overall--not too too bad. Not target rifles by any means, but fun to shoot. Except for the horrible-to-the-right impact of the first one, they were remarkably consistent, to the point that the brass was scattered in a pretty consistent pattern as well.
    As a contrast, I also fired my pre-war "Mauser" .22 training rifle, and managed about a 1" diameter group at 50 yards pretty much right on the point of aim.

    It's all fun and good. I'll keep working with the post-war rebuild for practice and accuracy. I really really do not like "aiming off" at all, so don't plan on shooting the factory-original too much!!!
