... or get closer to the target. :roll:
Seriously, try different, many different brands of ammo. start close, then "map" each at increasing ranges. How far from POA is your best load?
- much cheaper than gunsmithing the barrel/sight. but do pay attention to the crown.

Youll never make a bearcat into a 40-yard target gun. :shock: But you may get lucky with a 'best' load. Then buy many bricks of that one!

Took my one Bearcat out a number of times. It preferred Winchester Wildcat 22 LR. Even though I had two bricks, went out and bought a case of 5000. Filed the front sight down and had to tweek (bend) the front site to the right. At 7 yards, dead on, at 15 it opens up but it still a fun shooter. As was said earlier, won't be a 40 yard gun. I have other guns (Single Six's) that will hit at that range +.
