ST, your memory is good enough for me! I was just curious as to whether you had actually compared the paper group sizes or had only done the muzzle jump test. Did your speed hammer conversion include the heavier spring?
I restocked my first No 1 back in '67, I like them very well and I also like the original Winchester design quite well. The new Browning/Winchester adaptation generally leaves me cold except for its splendid accuracy. So far as I know, the Browning is the only rifle to ever have won both ends of the Pedersoli MOA Challenge, in caliber 40-65 WCF. Dangerous Dan the Torpedo Man was the loose nut on the Browning's trigger then, and he obviously did a fantastic job with it.
Regards, Joe
