Happy new year, 39'ers.
May 2013 be better than 2012.

Rimfire rifles are picky about ammo, and there's no telling what your rifle will like. They all have their favorite bullet.
You have to buy different ammo and try it for yourself.
Your rifle might like the same stuff as mine, and it might not.
A good all around bullet that shoots pretty good in almost all rifles is the CCI MiniMag round nose 40 grain bullet.
There's a good chance that experimenting can find something that groups better, but the minimag is clean, reliable, and accurate enough for most situations.
Try that, if you can find it.
I'd be interested in the options too - I'd like to put a scope on my eventually if it doesn't "mess" it up looks esthetically. When you said "period set up" it peaked my interest.Finally purchased a 39A last weekend after discovering this thread last year. I have not been out to the range yet but it looks like I will be able to this weekend.
I am very interested in scoping this rifle with a period set up, and from what I understand that is going to start with the Weaver Side Mount that matches up to the 4 holes on the left side of the barrel in front of the receiver.
My question is what options do I have when it comes to getting a scope on this rifle without d/t new holes.
