It would have a 4 power scope on top. This is a 358 Norma with a stubby barrel delivering Whelen ballistic's. I tend to use more than enough gun

Quality bullets(my wife uses 225 Barnes TTSX's),give it a 300 yrd. zero and your easily good to 400 yrds. still holding on hair.Beyond 400 and a rangefinder would be handy! memtb Mine exactly. Winchester 70 Classic stainless, McMillan Edge, Zeiss Conquest 2.5-8. 8 lbs all up, loves 225 TSX at 2900 FPS. “Factio democratica delenda est"
