Since it can chamber [[.22 Short]] it was capable of target practice or pest control without fear making the noise of a [[.22 Long Rifle]] and alerting others in residential areas. Due to it's microgroove barrel it was noted as being highly accurate at longer distances than most other .22 lr rifles of its time, often noted at shooting rodents accurately at distances exceeding 125 yards.
