You could always buy a set of adjustable sights and live happily ever after.E-Bay has a variety to choose from.Just a thought; if you're going to be playing around with different loads.............Harold

That's what I did with my Mountain Stalker. I bought a set at Wal Mart for $22.00 (aprox) and mounted them on the rifle. They made a big difference. Although I had to laugh putting a $22.00 set of sights on a $39.95 rifle.

Dave,that's not as badd as these guys putting 400 dollar scopes on their rifles. I just can't see spending as much or more on a scope than the gun is worth...

and Frontier, I'm having a blast. I probably grew a foot taller when I was walking back to the bench after I realized I was shooting the same hole haha.

Beauty is as beauty does.With the obvious accuracy potential of the gun and load who cares about the initial cost of the gun.It can only get better with adjustable sights.As for scopes it's false economy to spend a large amt. on the gun and go elcheapo on the glass.I'd take an average gun with excellant optics any day over the former.If you can't see it ,you can't hit it!Had a buddy who worked in a gun store that sold a Ruger77R to a fellow who upon returning with the gun to the store[fresh from the range]replied that he liked the gun but was having trouble sighting it in.The guy was actually looking through the 1" rings with no scope mounted and getting some of his bullets on paper @ 100yards!My friendgently implied that his groups would shrink if he added a scope.No kidding this really happened...........Harold

Talk about a big peep sight:D:D

I wouldn't worry about trying the 100gr load with a round ball. The max of 100gr 2F is based on a 400gr bullet. Your RB is less than half that weight and will not produce pressures as high as the 400gr bullet will. The only time you would get into trouble would be if you short start the projectile. Try it out you may find it likes it. The Bobcat is a solid little rifle for the price.

It sounds like your Bobcat is a shooter. I like the 3 I have.

Good luck with it.
