This one came with a Bushnell 4X scope. Some of my range time was spent getting the scope to a reasonable relief, then getting the windage and elevation on the scope within reason. Once that was done, I tried some offhand rounds, and got a semi-tolerable group at twenty-five yards:

Here's my Mossberg 251C Carbine.

Very pretty .22 there, it is.

I took a little time to give the 341 some TLC this morning, now that I've fired a few dozen rounds through it. It's in very nice condition for being forty years old (sources vary, of course, but one source that seems fairly sound indicates that the 341 was produced from 1972-1984). If there was neglect, it was benign enough that it wasn't a beat-up barn find.

I was also able to do some more examination to compare the two for condition and features. It has less rust than my 340KC (the rust on that one is limited to "down inside the stamped lettering on the barrel"). The stock is in nicer shape.

The third patch I ran through the barrel came out clean. A drop of Lucas Gun Oil here and there after some scrubbing with old tooth brushes and pipe cleaners, and the action is SMOOTH.

I'm pleased.

My dad gave me a Savage model 29B for my 7th birthday in 1960.

I still have it. I wish I had taken better care of it in the early years...

But it still works just fine!

In 1960 my dad gave me a 1917 Budapest straight pull Mannlicher carbine in 8x50r, which I still have. We used to play Army with it. Was scuffed. The dies for it cost over three hundred bucks so I have not shot it for about55 years. Dry fires like a champ.
