Hi Gary

I used to mainly shoot it out to 600 and do quite well off a bipod on a standard target with most shots in the central portion of the black (have also managed to repeatedly hit it at 1000 but it's hard to draw a comparison now I'm mainly shooting FTR tongueout )

Saying that you won't be disappointed fitting a scope as they seem to shoot really well. I kept to a low power scope to try to keep it looking a little more sympathetic but it really does well considering what it was originally designed for :good:

I bought it with the mounts fitted years ago and definitely think scoping is an option unless yours is a minter with loads of history etc......

Hope this helps
