You have to be a pretty good marksman with a rifle like a Handi rifle it is a single shot breach loader so you only get one shot at whatever you are hunting of course in most cases this is true bolt action, semi auto or muzzle loader you only have one good chance if you are a good hunter and want to avoid causing an animal to suffer because you took and bad shot.

I agree on the 4x that should be just right for that range and you can find 4x scopes for not too much.

Gimpy is in a pretty good region for hunting and fishing actually.

@breadcatcher you can actually get a Handi rifle in several calibers though the 45-70 might have the most kick they do sell them in .308 and 30-06 as well which have greater range you can get one in 22-250 as well which is basically .22 which enough gunpowder to launch the space shuttle it is the ultimate varmint round 4,000 FPS velocity depending on the grain.That thye still make rifles and revolvers in 45-70 shows you how good of a round it is designed way back in 1873.Well probably know all that anyway.
