Just scoped my son's Rascal. He was plinking away at the turkey swinger at 75 meters at the silhouette range we shoot at.
We don't punch paper or shoot at groups so can't help you there, but it gets the job done.
Main area for improvement is now the stock, but we are left on our own to DIY that, I guess, as there are no off the shelf options for it.
(An adjustable LOP stock like the one on the RAR that could take a bipod (the plastic stock is to buzzy/flexy/etc) or sit well in a rest and allow kids to grow with the rifle would be great)
Here are some folks using Rascals in youth competition with good results: http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums...d.php?t=547334
It is a good starting point for smaller shooters. Teaches the basics with methodical single shot load-aim-shoot-reload repetition vs the ubiquitous kid-behind-a-10/22 going ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting-ting (with a BX-25 mag :) ) and not really learning much between the shots.
