The average 452 or 455 is a shooter. Some are excellent shooters. The challenge at 100 yards is to find ammo that is consistent enough to group 5 rounds under MOA. Just a small velocity difference makes a huge difference. The other challenge is to find affordable ammo that is consistent.
For plinking and hunting I like 3-9 scopes, but for real accuracy I move it way up like 6-18. I find that in the field high power scopes are a pain.
