Finely got a Winchester 03 .22 Win Auto

[usabaker]

When I was at the range yesterday I was able to fire the rifle for the first time. I used Aguilla 22 Winchester Automatic ammunition. Even with my bad eyes that really had a hard time with the iron sight, shooting off-hand, I was still able to hold a 2.360″ 10 round groups at 30 yards. It’s me that’s making the groups that big not the rifle. I should have shot it off a rest or prone I guess. But just the same it is a truly accurate rifle.

I've taken to shooting off a bag mostly now too. Unless I'm just gong shooting...I like nice close groups too.

Yeah, I guess I should be thankful I had good eyes until I got in my 60's. I struggle with iron sites now but just can't give them up. They have always been my preferred aiming method.\, I didn't own a scope until I was 26 or 27 the were a big no-no around my dad and grandfather.
