It shoots much better groups than I can. My Dad and Aunt tell me he took a first place win at Camp Perry 1000 yd in the 50s.
My first memory of this gun was at the range shooting at a paint can half full of white paint. The way that paint flew when he hit it was unforgetable.

I do believe that's a 1917 like mine. Great rifles!
