You prolly don't want to take a risk on the Remmy package scope if there's a chance that you may get into a Mossberg package scope. The coatings on the Mossy glass are a recent update. The problem arises when you try to allocate either and the plant has run out of the white ink that prints the respective logo on said scope. Then ID can be a real bear. As to the 4X4 model rifle, that's sort of their "high end" model. There is no need to confound yourself with so many bells and whistles. The true budget priced Mossberg ATR (All Terrain Rifle) is a better selection for a novice I think. And, it comes in 270 Win.
