I have an old Springfield bolt single shot from my youth that has been in retirement a while. I drug the beat up old thing out of the safe the other day and felt bad about it's condition. After stripping the old brown stuff off the stock, I discovered some beautiful wood there. Who knew? Tru Oil did the rest.
Put some glass on it and went to the range with it yesterday, and managed some 3/8" 5 shot groups.
When in the boy scouts, I won several NRA medals with this little fella', so I know he's got better than that in him, (but I don't), anymore.
There are probably a lot of good shooters in the $60.00 rack at pawn shops!
