This rifle is advertised on the Remington website as a "starter" rifle. It could be bought with a bore-sighted Bushnell scope for a MSRP of $540, or with no scope for $460 (usually gun shops sell at a price below the MSRP). The difference in price, $80, suggests that the scope is a very low-end model. The rifle does not have some of the standard features of their high-end models, like the X-Mark Pro trigger (adjustable), etc., but by getting this stainless synthetic/camo rifle for $200 in the .270, even without a scope, as Howie Mandel would say, "You made a great deal!"
