My reply was a joke. I know what the rifle is. I put some effort into trying to make it look half decent when I finished it even though my knowledge and experience in the field is extremely limited. The styling of the rifle in itself is a major set back. But, I could have gotten a Green Mountain barrel for guns I already have one or two barrels for, or I could get a whole rifle for a few dollars more in a kit form and have some fun putting it together. And know that when I take it hunting, and harvest a deer with it, it was my two hands that put it together.
You just ruined it with that abortion sitting on top of it.
Open sights are fine. Just get closer.

Pluckit, its your rifle and you are the one enjoying, enjoy using it. On top of that they can't accuse you of ruining a collector piece like in the center fire world. So hopefully this one will bring down that trophy or put meat in the freezer, whichever your goal is.

Welcome to the dark side Pluckit. 
May the magnification be with you!
You might consider dropping twenty bucks on a compact little 4X scope to see how you like it. It will look a little trimmer and I think you would find the overall balance real nice.
I fancy the ProDiamonds, but I see Cayugad has one of these ProSports on one of his sidelocks. http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm...dTitle=Simmons
If it's anything like the ProDiamond it's a solid little scope.

I went as far as putting a Simmons ProSport 2.5x20mm on a Wolverine of mine. The scope was real cheap. But that is just an awesome little tree stand rifle and walking around rifle. My shots are normally under 50 yards, and that little 2.5 is more then up to the task.
The rifle today had a 4x32mm Simmons ProSport on it and it worked just fine.
