I still haven't mounted a scope on my HW50S, been enjoying the simplicity of its irons. I have a 3-9 EFR Leupold for it still in the box. The irons on the Weihrauch are nice, the globe front has several inserts to suit your taste. A soup can is in trouble out to 50 yards or so offhand. I have a 3-12 RA Burris on my .25 Marauder that I use for sniping pests, but the handling between the two is like a flyrod vs a 2x4.
