That USA American looks like a nice little rifle. Wisconsin does not allow scopes, so that short barrel rifle will do the job all day out to the ranges we shoot at here. Even if a person threw a 1X Thompson Center Hawkins scope on the thing. It should be a great shooter out to 100 yards.

I hunt with my Wolverine Lk-II which is basically the same rifle. 85 grains of powder and a 240 grain XTP and I would dare any whitetail to come within 100 yards of me.
