[QUOTE="Boatninja, post: 2893652, member: 111614"] I would love to get it shooting but after much time & expense just haven't been able to get 1MOA. 1957 J C Higgins, FN Mauser action with a newer Hart Barrel and McMillain stock, shoots better with old beat up glass bedded original wood stock it seems slightly better. It was my first rifle, stolen and missing for 20 years and recovered by my brother about 15 years ago, original barrel unsalvageable. Screw holes in receiver are not in the right spot. It is possible to get screws in two holes, and a third if you just get them started and then tighten. With the original barrel and scope mounts it shot great, with cheap ammo, .75 MOA or better. I would feel better shooting that than anything and may attempt to work up a load for it, but those screw holes really bother me. Just in the past couple of days been thinking about options. Epoxy rail to receiver????? I was not expecting to have another opportunity to go on this awesome hunt, truly a honey hole. Same guys going for 10-15 years. I have been into very accurate rifles for my entire life and 1.5-2MOA is just no longer acceptable to me. [/QUOTE]
