I have had this gun for a few years and up until last week was using just peep sights. At 50 yards, the gun will hold under an inch with cheap Federal Automatch. Alas, my eyes are not what they used to be, so I decided to scope the rifle and see what it is really capable of.

I mounted up a SWFA fixed 10x which is an outstanding scope that adjusts down to 10 meters. I then shot several different types of ammo which all shot well. The Eley Match is the clear standout. That ammo consistently shot the tightest groups.

I’m going to use this rifle to shoot our local rimfire matches and was humbled after shooting the 25 shot target used in those matches with my 457 varmint. My first time was a 1845 out of a possible 2500. This gun shoot better than the 457, so I hope to do better next time using this gun to shot the same 25 shot target.

Here are my targets from today’s shooting.
