Nope. I have a 40-X (std barrel) and a 40-XB (heavy barrel). Both are rimfires.
For ME to be able to shoot 1/2 MOA, I need to move to the
other section of my sight carrying case....

OK - what is 1/2 MOA?
With a scope like that Willie, I'm wondering if you moonlight as a proctologist

Darren, MOA = Minute of Angle. (Technically, minute of arc.)
A google search will explain it much better than I can.
In most discussions here in the states, MOA is roughly described as a spread of 1 inch per every 100 yards distance. So if all your shots hit inside a 1 inch diameter circle at 100 yards that = 1 MOA.
If they all fall within a half-inch diameter circle at 100 yards, that would equal 1/2 MOA.
2 inches @ 200 yards = 1 MOA
1 inch @ 200 yards = 1/2 MOA
3 inches @ 300 yards = 1 MOA
etc., etc.
Clear as mud?

Thanks Willie - that makes sense. I'm guessing depleted uranium rounds would help bring your MOA down

Nah. Actually, I have a very good proctologist. He's really the only doctor I see eye-to-eye with, you know?
This pic gives it a better sense of scale. It's an old relic now, but it was state-of-the-art back in the day. But I like the nostalgia. Kind of like re-living the days of the old Stevens Favorite, eh?

Yeah, it's on hold Willie. Gotta work on a paying job for a while.
