Very nice. I have an H&R 5200 sporting a Lyman 25X.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
Here is the best group I have ever shot with ANY rifle. This is prone at 100yds. 8 shots in basically 1 hole, and a couple of pulled shots. I have found that there are not a lot of 5200s out there. The M12s are a dime a dozen in comparison.

Very nice shooting. I love my 5200. I've also got a couple of M12's. Not as nice looking, but pretty good shooters.
Here is a group my son shot with my 5200...the center group was a warm up for a match-stick match last January. 5 shots at 50 yards. I measured it at .403". It was shot with fairly cheap CMP Aguilla ammo. Still waiting to find some Wolf or Eley ammo to really test it out.
I have 3 bolt action rifles, but none are serious target rifles. I have a JC Higgins (Marlin) 22, a Romanian m1969 trainer, and a pre-war Remington 341. These old tube fed bolt actions like the Higgins and Rem 341 are just so reliable and fun. I also have the old faithful Ruger 10/22.
