I acquired the rifle from Maine in early 1970's and fired a few reloads. As I recall, it would easily shoot 1 1/2" groups at 100 yards. Has an old Nickel scope in claw-mounts. Right after I got the rifle, I was looking for someone competent to lighten the trigger pull. A friend told me about a "German guy" doing work out of his home in western NH. Turned out to be Dietrich (he was helping Ruger design their O/U shotgun). When he saw the rifle, his first comment was "I made this rifle!"
