I cheated, it was only 98 yards

I had a few concerns before I bought this rifle. Or any rifle with that short of a barrel.
Poor accuracy, I expected 2"+ groups (I was pleasantly surprised ).
It will blow out my eardrums. (I took 2 shot without hearing protection and It's not any louder than my .357 mag)
It will be a Flame throwing monster. ( I don't notice any muzzle flash with or without the flash suppressor installed.)
The Scout scope. I was kind of weirded out by scout scopes and the Ruger comes with rings for standard scope mounting over the receiver. But.... I really wanted something "different" and decided to give it a try. (So far so good, accuracy is good, target aqusition seems faster and peripheral vision is better when looking through the scout scope than a standard Also the scope doesn't beat on my side arm when slung over my shoulder.
QRW rings. I like the idea of a removable scope but was concerned with repeatability. (I removed the scope and replaced it between 2 of the 3 shot groups pictured above, with little or no change to point of impact)
