I've got a 1951 Winchester Model 70 in 30-06 that will shoot 1¼" groups at 100yds, HOWEVER, I handload and it took me a couple of years shooting match bullets and tweaking my loads to find exactly the right load to do it. Mostly it's a 1½-2" group shooter with my normal hunting loads which is plenty good enough.

Sorry friends, was out sick for several days.
I did buy the rifle, I am told it does not have the original stock, and it has been reblued. The seller said he bought it a few years ago as a hunting rifle for his daughter, but she needed something a bit smaller.
Seller says his groups came from his own reloads, so I imagine when I run some factory ammo thru it, probably won't be a 1moa gun. I'll post results after I've taken her to the range. Needs a scope though. The seller removed the rear sight as it was scratching the scope he had on it.

The action is decently smooth, and I need to give the bore a good thorough cleaning, but it does appear to be bright.
