I removed the rear site and put on a rail ( cant remember the company name but if you google savage 42 rail it comes up) Put on a Fastfire II and have it dialed in perfectly at about 25 yards. With federal shot & CCI mini mags I took a bunch of grouse and rabbit this past season.Top & bottom barrel are very close for shot placement.Alot of people give bad reviews and comments about this gun but I love it. I hunt in thick bush,muskeg and I don't care that it gets beat up.Its light enough to hike with all day and its basic design makes it problem free. I only have one complaint the ejector doesn't always catch the shells so follow up shots aren't always as fast. A shell holder built into the stock would be a nice feature as well.Federal slugs work the best out of all the brands I tried.
