I swapped out the fore end for another sporterized one I have from No. 4 Mk. 2 that fit much better and along with the repaired rear sight, the results on target were much better than last time. This is a five-shoot group at 100 yards that measures 1.5 inches (disregard the shot in the lower left from another rifle). Considering my eyesight challenges with irons, I'm quite pleased. I expect to be able to improve on this considerably with a scope and handloads.
