....I put a Leupold 4X rimfire scope on mine. I had the scope pallalax reset to 100 yards. It is a very compact scope, weighs 7.5 oz. and covers any thing in the range of the 7.62X39 well. I've found that S&B 123 gr. softpoint ammo (first class brass cased stuff!)prints 3/4" groups with my little carbine, and dispatches whitetails with aplomb based on the limited hunting I've done with it. Killed a beautiful 17" spread buck with one shot at 120 yards. The shot quartered through the animal from just behind the shoulder to exit through the liver on the off side. The deer fell where shot.

....Good luck with your carbine. They are a dream to carry! The S&B ammo cost me 6.99 a box of twenty. I bought ten boxes.Try it!
