All I've done so far is plink with it after my deer was hanging and it worked fine at that.
I need to have a calm day at the range to fool with a few different types of ammo yet.
I'm not sure what you mean by the combo. I got the rifle alone for $455 and a Vortex 3-10x43 from Doug to put on top. It's my backup/guest rifle for silhouette so I wanted a scope with turrets.
