i put a 2-7 power on my beartooth and at 80 yards on a good day it will touch some holes. i shoot 80 grains of goex clear shot with a pre-lubed patch and a round ball. i use the speer brand balls and they do great. it shoots good enough that i am going to use it in the regular rifle season. seems to be a very dependable shooter but i did find out that it does not like the power belts. at least it did not like the 240 grain. have fun with the gun.
