I bit the bullet, so to say, and ordered a 45 cal Accura. When it gets in I will mount a 1.75x4.5 Bushnell Banner (my favorite scope...never really needed a higher power for deer in VA) and tell you how she does when she gets in with 2 - 50 gr pellets of 777 and 225 gr HP and 3 - 50 gr pellets of 275 gr HP, or whatever else gets a good load.
Expect a report with 2 weeks.
