Well I have no idea what he is going to do with it. It is a Savage off of the shelf so I doubt he is competing with it; probably plink/varmint/small game from 10 feet to he thinks 300 yards, but I have no idea. He thinks the gun/caliber is supposed to be accurate to 300 yards. I have serious doubts to killing power and wind bucking ability at that range with such a tiny projectile.
Sounds like any centerfire scope is the way to go.
