I've got a 25mn with a bushnell trophy 3x9. My rifle is very accurate with the 34gr winchester supreme loads. I've taken several brush wolves with it at and under 100 yards, both chest and head shots. I've never had to shoot one more than once. For smaller game I'll go out to 175 yards. The 22 wmr can be more or less accurate than a .22 long rifle. It depends entirely on the rifle, and how much it likes its favorite brand of ammo. For an affordable, accurate small-medium game rifle, the 25mn is an excellent choice.
