Another beautiful firearm, the wood looks to be in great condition. Looks like the current Walther 22lr rifles are match target models. The master manufacturer built one of wood but it looks very different than your 1954 rifle. Adjusting the scope really helped.

As soon as I fired the first shot after moving the crosshairs, which had to be done with my Leupold boresighter, because the scope's adjustment has no clicks or graduations, and saw it was exactly where I wanted it, I really concentrated on the next 4 shots. Besides the great group, I was amazed to find that the non-centering crosshairs were right in the middle.

Where were you shooting woodchucks? Back when I was young, my folks had some friends who had land outside of Monroe NY. I would go up there from NYC and use their hornet rifle to cut down the seemingly endless population of woodchucks. To this day it is still my favorite centerfire cartridge. I'm embarrassed to admit how many rifles in that caliber I have.

As strange as it sounds when I came out here to Wisconsin in the late 1950's to go to school woodchucks were protected. This remained so until very recently. Nowadays that we live on 120 acres of hilly wooded land with plenty of woodchucks I can no longer bring myself to shoot anything. Even raccoons which have to controlled, are dealt with by my wife. I do keep he 90 year old Remington Model 24 cleaned and functioning, but that's all I contribute to the bloodshed.
