It's low recoil and this heavy barrel gun makes it more so.

I have a Contender barrel in 223 so I'll have some interchangeability.

I ordered a Redfield 6-18 44mm Varmint scope which IMO is one of the better deals in economy, high power scopes. Since my eyesight goes to he!! when my sugar goes up or down, it will at least let me have a better chance at a good hit.
