Oldman, I thought about a rifle scope on mine. I am 5'5" and my arms are not the longest, most pistol scopes have a 20" eye relief. This one is the only one I can find that has a shorter eye relief, has a approx. 13" eye relief. I like to bring those targets up close also, and those targets you posted are great. I hope this scope and gun will do as good as my model 41 did, I also used to shoot one ragged hole with that. I have not had a chance to take this one out to the range as of yet, even if my range is out in my pasture working 10 hrs. a day 5 day's a week. Dark when I go in and dark when I get out, so this week end will be it's first test drive with the scope. Very accurate for me and my eye's at 25 yards iron sights already. I have a metal 2 inch swinging target and with the iron sights I can hit it 9 out of 10 times from a bench. could make it 100 % of the time if my eye's were better.

It is accurate, but not as accurate as my S&W 41 that I had. But I really did not take all the time I could have. So I blame my self more than the gun, I am sure when I get to the range the next time and really get down and concentrate it will be even better. This target was fired at 25 yards from bench 10 rounds each bullseye slight wind with CCI SV ammo. I am going to try some Wolf ammo also but it is $10.00 a box of 50. I will probably stick with the CCI SV at $8.00 a box of 100 and Federal auto match at $15.00 a box for 325 rounds. I Love the gun it's fun to shoot and it will only improve as I take more time and learn the quirks of the gun a little more.
My S&W Model 41 I could shoot dime size groups

Not too bad the first time out with it. Most of them grouped with a flier, which could have been the wind. My MKIII likes the American Eagle AE22 (HV) ammo the best. With it I can shoot the dime size holes if I do my part. All 22's are sensitive to ammo, you just need to find the one yours likes.

but that wooden flange on the bottom sure helps keep the wobble out.
You have great day and shoot straight and may the Good Lord smile on you.
