[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 1626870, member: 22335"] You first have to check what the twist rate is of the barrel. If it's a very early rifle it might be 1:12, but I think all the Japanese rifles are still 1:10 twist. I would also check the barrel length and diameter. If it is 24 inches, and probably a #1 profile, they were not known for being accurate. I did hear of Weatherby rebarreling one of these many, many years later but I have no idea if that would still occur. If it is a 26 inch #2 barrel I would think about swapping to a better stock (B&C, McMillan), bedding it, tuning the trigger and then shooting it. [/QUOTE]
