I picked up a vintage CVA Mountain Stalker rifle recently. Although I'm not sure why because it's an ugly thing, black plastic stock, blued barrel. The bore was kinda gritty and I spent several hours cleaning it up. Hit it with my little steam cleaner, bore brush and finished up with about 60 strokes with scotch brite pads.
This morning at the range with a starting load of 60 grains 2f Goex, .490 ball and a lubed .015 cotton patch. Kinda primitive buckhorn rear sight and brass blade front. Took me a few shots to figure out how to aim but at 50 yards I had it hitting pretty decent.
A few low, then a few high left and right but finally found the mark a about 4 good hits.
