I've had two of them. They are tough and reliable and moderately accurate with iron sights. They make a good coon gun as you can beat a coon to death with one and run over it with a pickup without breaking it. On the minus side they have lousy triggers and won't hold zero for shyt when scoped.
You're probably using way too good of a scope. The old timer I coon hunted with had one of those $15.95 tascos on his. He kept it in his truck box and never unloaded it and never cleaned it, dropped tools on it, and never missed with it. lol
