Picked up one of these rifles a couple weeks ago for kids and Dad to use, something with less recoil that the shotguns. Topped it with a Leupold VX-II 3x9.
Got it dialed in last weekend. Shooting Hornady 240 gr XTP, hollow points I zeroed it ar 100 yards, resutling in -6" at 150 yards and -12" at 200 yards. The 225gr plastic tipped Hornadys did not group as well.
The gun is pretty decent and plenty accurate for hunting, but just not up to the accuracy standards that I expect out of a rifle. I think much of it is the result of having a 7-8 lb trigger pull. Wish they had longer barrels too.
May stick a Timney trigger in it next year, but it's good to go for now.
