Another fun day at the range. This time I took two rifles -a Henry SGC and a Springfield Model 53-B made by J. Stevens Company. I paid $85 for it about two years ago.

The closest berm is behind the 25 yard line and the furthest (in the shade) is behind the 50 yard line. I wanted my targets to be in the sun so picked the berm in between and since I was on the berm I’m going to estimate the distance at 40 yards.

Kneeling I was getting okay groups with the Small Game Carbine. Good enough for rabbit but not squirrel. The one hole in the black at 7 o’clock is actually two. I need to raise the point of impact.

The Springfield has a Lyman 55S and Lyman 17 globe for sights. I thought it would be a good shooter.

I pulled those three away from the others. Here I was shooting Norma Tac22 and also leaning against the shooting bench. Much better ammo than the Winchester ammo in the Carbine.

I bet this rifle can shoot quarter inch groups at 50 yards. It can but doubt if I could.
