Got my second 853 from the CMP, a belated retirement gift to myself. Cleaned and refinished the stock,just finished sighting in . Now for the rain to stop. These 853s are so accurate I'm going to try some bug busting this summer. A piece of cardboard,a few drops of honey and wait....

For more fun, stretch it out to 25 yards. You will need quite a bit of elevation, but the irons are good enough to use the 10 meter rifle target at that distance. I know from experience that my FWB 300s is capable of holding the 8 ring, and mostly the nine ring at 25 yards.

I trust the CMP about as far as I can spit. At least you got something usable. Nice job on the stock it looks good!

I hang a soda can on a stick and blast away at 25-30 yards with one. So much fun.

Sad but true. The CMP isn't what it was 10 years ago. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I need to buy a new sight hood/weight for mine. The boys knocked mine around and bent it.

What does CMP get for these?
Didn't they cost about $80 new in the 1990s? Or was that the 753? |

My bore is spotless! The wipe
was a little dry . I used this type of rifle all through high school. Ours were not as nice as the one I got . I suspect it was not used much. Came with new front and rears, New sling as well |
