My Favorite on a cold day.

[Squatch]

Finally got my old reworked Stevens Favorite to the range today. http://henryrifleforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=3953

It was about 36*-38* while we were at the range.

Stevens Favorite Model 1915 with Marbles tang sight and factory blade front. It just took me a few minutes to get the sight set. But I wasn't shooting very well today. I had some good shots but consistency eluded me. I simply wasn't seeing well and I haven't shot a blade sight on a rifle in quite a while.

But Hack on here was. He shot the rifle 3 shots and showed what it can do now. 3 shots in a 5/8" group at 50 yds! The only 3 shots he took with my gun.

After that My targets aren't that impressive. But I saw enough today to see that if I do my part this rifle will shoot groups the size of a quarter all day long. But that wasn't going to happen for me today. The only ammo we shot was Federal Auto Match.

The link above has pics of the rifle and a link to the thread on another forum that describes the work I've recently had done to it. Cosmetically it's still a work in progress. But it shoots and functions fine. Today was probably the 1st target shooting that's been done with this rifle in decades! So pleased to bring this old jewel back from the dead!

Looks like Hack was "The Man" today.

You know what a fan of single shots I am, so I'll just say congrats and thank-you for rescuing an old classic and giving it new life. Proud to know you. Great report, too.
