Fairly good grouping. This disbursement could be from your point of aim or sight picture. Definately nice shooting.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Or the fact that that small black target center looks like a pin head at 50 yards. Yep, good shooting. Were these from the same range that you guys were shooting together at in Vblue's video? That was a nice range to give you choice of seated or standing rifle range lanes. :P

Nice shooting. I cant wait to get my 1950 tula to the range possibly this weekend. If the weather isnt too bad, I think I will give it a try. I can only hope it shoots as well as yours did. :thumbsup:
