Shot right on at about 40 - 50 yds at a pile of logs. It's got a last ditch rear sight which i hope to remedy one day with a Williams receiver sight so I can actually zero the thing, but not bad for what it is, takes 6.5 Swedish stripper clips too.
The cow shit smell is better than the city smell. Got a type 99 in 30 06 and the ATF took my money for a C & R. It's a bubba 99 the govt. didn't do it, I'll see how it does this weekend.
Honestly I found two type 53's sub $200 on here and messaged one guy but nothing came back, the post was old so w/e, and I'm a new guy. New to forums in general too so maybe i screwed something up.
@camper4lyfe, That sounds like a mess, hope things get better. Were hoping to finally own something further south of here, the more remote the better, I still work in the city though.
I've seriously thought of C&R, especally in this state, I'm originally from WI where you can just buy a gun off a guy and it's legal, no FFl no nothing. But my wife was here so w/e. Thanks for all the welcomes!
