I used to consider 6 inch groups good shooting[X(]:eek:. Now I think of 3 or 4 inches pretty good at 100 yards---OR 50 yards. Like I said, I can't shoot so great at 50 butat least I'm always consistent from there.

I shoot solely with open sights so I'm not sure what I could expect with a scope.

A scope will improve your groups by 1 to 2 inches. Open sights 50 yards 3" groups are fine. 100 yards 4 inch groups are fine, but that is a long shot without a scope. I have shot some deer with open sights at100 yards, but that is a longdistance. Most people I hunt with that are using open sights sight them in for 2" high at 50 or dead on at 70, if you sight dead on at 13 yards with open sights with a 300g bullet you will be dead on at 70 and in the kill zone out about 100, which should be your longest shot. Look at the ballistic chart for you bullet and see where POA (point of aim) intersects bullet trajectory, it is about 13 yards for most 250 to 300g bullets. Chap Gleason
