I acquired a 514 Scoremaster a few months ago for $25. The previous owners said it wasnt accurate. The bolt was hard or impossible to open and close. The first thing I did was take the side mount scope off. The mounting screws were interfearing with the bolt. I made a rear sight to replace the missing origional. When I shot it the first time, I was extremely thrilled with the 1 inch group at 50 yds. To me, it is a tack driver that can definately out shoot me. At times I feel guilty aboue what I paid for it. They are great guns that preform well.
