Default Model 69 Accuracy

I took my new to me 69 to the range yesterday for an accuracy check (it was the second range trip, the first is just shot casually to see how it felt/functioned) and was I happy.

The target below is a combo of groups shot over sand bags, off hand and even some DA. The .22 holes are from my 4" GP-100 that I know is accurate. The really tight .44 cal groups in the center and upper left bulls are from the 69 over bags. Gun is way more accurate than I am

You didn't actually shoot that target in the bath room, did you?

It's nice to have a gun that has more potential than you have ability it gives you a goal to strive for while burning powder and makes practice more challenging and enjoyable if not somewhat frustrating.
