I really like mine and would still use the iron sights if I could see them. I ahve a cheap 1-4 zx scope on it because that scope is very short and looks/handles better than the std scopes.Mine will do better than 3" at 100 yds with std Speer flat nose semi jacketed bullet. It has dropped on elk so far at about 60 yards ( 1 shot, DRT).It sure isn't a 200 yd gun
