Heliman and I spent quite a bit of time shooting this rifle, as we both owned one. Following is a compilation of our results, gleaned from numerous previous threads...
I experimented with numerous manufacturers of ammo. The Rooshkie stuff was mediocre in mine, where the same stuff in Heliman's rifle shot much better. Mine really did shine when I switched to domestic ammo. The biggest surprise was Hornady's SST loaded in steel cases. Who'da thunk?
1" groups with quality domestic ammo.
Best groups were with Hornady SST ammo.
2" groups with steel cased commie ammo.

Bought online, finally picked it up from my FFL yesterday. Haint shot it yet, but just in handling, it is way cool. The jury is still out on scope selection. With the 16" barrel, even a 4x32 scope looks really long. My plan is to put my Hog Plex scope on it, but for now that scope is committed to another rifle.
I couldn't wait. Installed the 1x4 hog Plex, and it is a better choice. :mrgreen:

Okay. Finally settled on the
Leupold Vx2 3x9x33 AO Ultralight. It's a relatively small scope, so I think it'll be a good choice. Hope to get it to the range soon.
Although this is a poor flip-phone photo, it shows how much smaller this (mounted) Ultralight Leupold is, compared to many other adjustable power scopes. It's even smaller than a fixed 4x. :mrgreen:
