It is a Coast to Coast model 843 (springfield 840). It is in good shape and I am thinking of using it instead of my garand for hunting this season. I haven't had a chance to sight it in or even fire it yet, so what should I be expecting? Kick isn't a concern, as I doubt it will be worse than the garand (very comfortable). It is a bolt action, but I don't see how that should make any difference. I will be shooting 100y or closer, so stopping power isn't a worry either. I am worried about group size (reasonable, 1-2 inch groups at 50y will suit my purpose fine). I will have a sling on it, and it is scoped with a 4x weaver scope on an offset rail (raised rings so I can see the irons still). I am looking at the 170gr winchester superX for rounds. I know about hornady, but I don't see the point (pun intended) for that close of shooting so why spend the extra 7 dollars?
