Blacktail, when I'm shooting for groups, I scope it with a 1.5 Leopold pistol scope. When I'm squirrel chasing in the fall, I compact red dot works best for me.

The SR is a light, handy little gun. I've been told most of the malfunctions occur with the loading of the magazine. I have a tendency to pull down on the finger tab so that I can slip a bunch of rounds in one at a time with no resistance. A feller told me to only pull down far enough to slip one round in, and repeat. He said that keeps the rims lined up so the top round's rim is always in front.

I haven't had a chance to try that. So I will next time out. I get at least one malfunction every 50 rounds or so. Still, I don't consider it squirrel head accurate with open sights beyond 10 yards for me. Other's may vary.
