Now that I’ve got the rifle reassembled, I’ve realized that this Mossberg scope is not really gonna cut it. The glass is very discolored and I’m debating on the route to go since it came with no sights. So off to church I go, as I ponder my sight/scope options! I know I've posted this before, but Havlin Sales is a wealth of info and parts for these old Mossberg .22 rifles. Here's a link if you decide to use it. havlinsales.com/22rifle.htmGood luck!

A gunsmith put me on to soaking in mineral spirts as an inexpensive parts cleaner. Works great and fairly cheap by 2023 inflated costs.
I do not know if I mentioned that before.

Simmons 22 mag scope 3-9x32I've never had one, BUT the Simmons 44 Mag scope that I have is similar to a Leupold VX-III of the same vintage.

I decided to top her with one of my old Weaver G4 scopes and then we'll test her out! This is what the rifle looks like for now!

My buddy was spotting for me and relaying my hits from 20 yards out. I adjusted accordingly. As seen on the target, the first bullet was high and I continued to bring the impact down, shooting 5 shot groups at a time. The last hole was dang near dead center and we called it all good! The rifle jammed a few times early on with Federal AutoMatch. I switched to CCI and had 1 failure to feed. As we continued to shoot, she ran flawlessly. I may take her down again and play with the adjust screw but that'll be some other day! This is a short video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMonbZXiWEAThe accuracy of these old 22 rifles amazes me!
