Nice work .
I decided to keep my D54 unscoped, love shooting her with open sights.

When I first got mine I shot a bit with open sights and was surprised how accurate it seemed. Then I scoped it and was not so impressed. Tuning by John Thomas cut groups in half. Adding Hectors tuner cut groups in half again. Learning how it liked to be shot made the good groups the norm. I think it's a very under rated Springer. After some fiddling I have the trigger pretty good now. A fun gun for sure. If you scope yours use Burris rings with inserts, took all my scope issues away with the inserts dampening the vibration from a big heavy spring, great advice I received from Hector .

If you plugged a grundy at 63 yards with it, whatever you are doing, you’re doing right.

A grundy.......never heard that one before. Get past 50 yards you need good conditions, range finder, and an adequate skill set to make the shot. Of course I killed my first Grundy almost 69 years ago, experience can not be underrated,lol.

I’ve only been shooting them for 45 years but we have referred to them with a couple nicknames. A flat top, whistle pig and the skinny ones standing tall look like a cobra.

Every see a turkeys head coming out of tall grass.....that's a cobra head. Whistle pig I hear quite often. I shot my first at 8, soon to be 77, 69 years of chasing the little darlings.
