[QUOTE="roninflag, post: 146610, member: 5691"] [ QUOTE ] With factory ammo I was getting about 1". Just as a side note I live in AZ.....its hot, the terrain is steep and rugged and you CANNOT ROAD HUNT. I'm not lugging a varmint rifle around....end of story. Unfortunately I don't get out to shoot "this rifle" much as is. I shoot rim fires quite a bit just to keep my skills honed but work and life really don't allow me to get out much. The rifle is currently topped with a Leupold Mark 4 M1 LR/T 4.5-14.5x50....which I would say is a "good scope". I use Swarovski 10x50 SLC binos and a Swarovski 80mm spotting scope for my hunting purposes. I'm at the the point where I get a Swaro Range finder or have a custom rifle built..... big purchase for me related to outdoors/hunting each year..... .
