These were all shot at 300 yards with a vintage El Paso Weaver 4X
That's the scope
I did not trust the scope adjustments, and you learn, not to. Since the windage and elevation turrets were coin slotted, no clicks, and about 60 years old, I more or less left them alone during the string. What I have learned about old scopes, you put on a click, it may go a click, or it may not go a click, or it may go a yard!
I did take the El Paso Weaver off as it was not very bright, and got gray fast. But the thing is, you don't need a super high magnification to shoot a decent group at distance.
1970's, 6X Burris at 600 yards
That Burris is a long tube bugger, and I need a long tube for the bell to be forward of the rear sight. I could take it off, but I would lose it, and this is a first year M70
Winchester did not build this rifle for scopes, in 1937, this is what you used
