    61 springfield

    Well, I did some shooting the other day and figured out that it does shoot better with 2f rather than 3f. At 100 yds I got a 5" group shooting from the shoulder. However it does shoot about 6" high consistantly, so do I file the notch in the rear sight down a little?

    I was looking at the specs on the armisport, says its has a 1-66 twist. Then I was looking at the euroarms which has a 1-78 twist. Does anyone know what the original specs where on these rifles?
