i have a chance to get a 397, i had a 392 and loved it,but got rid of it on trade for a springer, now i have a chance to get a 397, it comes with a scope and barrel mount, but i was thinking of getting the 64 peep sight so if anyone wants to trade one for a scope and mounts pm me, but my question is has anyone used the 397 for hunting. Ive killed some big groundhogs with my 392, and was wondering what would be the max size animal you'd try to take with the 397?

Rabbit sized animals is no problem for the 397.
It all comes down to shot placement and distance. Hit it right and even larger animals can go down.
Not to recommend on larger animals than rabbits though.

Hmm, any bird, opossums, squirrels, rabbits, and rats. Maybe a small racoon, but nothing bigger than a opossum.
