Saw that package at Academy yesterday for $300. Considering you could sell the scope for $100+ that's not a bad deal for a starter/beater rifle for sure.
That is the ad in our Sunday newspaper last week that got me interested in this rifle.
I went to several local Academy stores and none had the rifle with a Vortex scope. All of the rifles on this sale had a cheap scope with no brand name and flimsy looking rings and mounts.
I could not even focus 2 of the scopes enough to get a clear sight picture.
