Ron -

That's really impressive shooting. I managed that once at 100 yards, but with a Remington M-700VLS in .223 from a bench rest with a good scope.

My first gun was also a 22. My brother gave me a Winchester single-shot, bolt-action when I was 12. As I think back on it, most of the boys where I grew up (South Georgia) had 22s by the time they were 12. Interestingly, I never saw even one incident of careless or irrresponsible use of these guns. I imagine the gun control folks would find this hard to believe . . . but true anyway. We hunted mostly squirrels, but we were careful never to shoot on the level if a squirrel was on the side of a tree.

Would really like to hear from anyone else who has the same experience as Aaron with the Winchester 63.
