I cleared the 440 yard chickens at my local range with a sporterized enfield. I will never admit to how many shots it took to get the sights verified though....

I have a scoped SRH and several unscoped pistols. I find that I can't shoot the scoped pistol much, if any better than the collection of Smith's I have.
