Best "sleeper" you ever bought?

Picked up a Glenfield M25 bolt action new at Dicks back in the 80s. It was a Black Friday deal. $39.00. I was going to give it to my teenage BIL for Christmas. I stripped the stock of it's brown spray coat and rubbed in a couple coats of BLO and put a $19.95 1" Tasco 4x on it. Came out real nice. My BIL blew it though. He shot at his sister with a air pistol so no way I was giving it to him. I took it to the range and found out it would keep all the shots in a dime size group at 50yds with PMC Zappers. I used it for squirrels and won a quite a few local "hunter" silhouette shoots with it until a couple guys started showing up with full blown competition rifles. Still have it. Now I'll have to dig it out. I think I also have a brick of those old Zappers too.

Really with 1 shot groups. I do it all the time.

Mine would be a rusty Remington 511 and a CBC 122, they are both wonderfully cheap little stinkers
that manage to hit anything you point at. Though I have a backlog of stuff I have yet to try such as a Winchester 1911 S.L, Winchester model 50, Remington 341, Remington 341-p, and a Remington 510.

Funny you say that. I have some that are very average on paper but I seem to hit what I,m aiming at in the field almost always. Small stuff. Not water melons.
