Just took my first trip to the range yesterday with a Speedmaster I picked up on vacation last week. She's the epitome of "not good lookin' but boy can she cook!"
I gave it the acid test right out of the case: alternating rounds Remington short & Federal bulk long rifle, she ran like a top and was already sighted in!
Noticed a little drift left with CCI minimags at 100yds. With the iron sights I could make them flush for the lr's and then elevate the front sight fully for the shorts and get both on target at 100. I don't think you can get better performance or have more fun for the money. I can see this model might become a collector's niche for me if I'm not careful!
So are there any special tips on care and feeding for this old girl that any other owners can pass on? Any and all recommendations appreciated!
