 That's a fine group for any box stock rifle. Do ya reload or know someone who does? You can always load better ammo for a gun than ya can buy. It's like your old trusty dog, you just feed him/her the treats they like and they will do the tricks you want. ;D ;D Good shootin!

my pa reloads and he use to have this same rifle and after he did some trigger work to it and done some testing. he now has a load that all 5 shots will touch at 100yrds. he said even when he had his cheap bsa scope on there he could hit crows at 200yrds everytime

Oh Ya! If you can work up a load for these things, they can be a real tackdiver,,handloads are a major + over factory ammo.

Buy some Varget and bullets for pa, and roll yer own  ;D

From the looks of that target (2 in one hole and ~1.5" spread), the rifle and ammunition are very capable together.  Steady that bench rest.  Sight in slowly.  Ease that trigger back.  I bet there is closer spacing in there.
