Old. 22's

Have been plinking with a Mk4 BSA Airsporter ( 5.56 mm bore ) I was gifted and not been impressed with the accuracy of modern pellets.
Sourced some ' Defiant ' Vintage 5.56 and used them yesterday for the first time.
I was pleasently surprised to shoot 1" groups @ 20m despite the old 4 x scope and the trigger being similar to a bonnet release on a mk1 Ford Transit .
They weren't cheap but I don't intend to shoot loads.
The rifle was bought new in the mid 1970's and has been used outside the previously owners garden. Excellent condition but has never been serviced. With a bit of fettling I might have a go a crack at close range squiggels with it.
Delighted to eventually get my hands on an Airsporter , they were a posh kids rifle, we had lowly milbro's and meteor's.
