In an article on the Fortner actioned Anschutz sporter they cited the price as around $3500, I don't think they will sell too many at that price. Another negative may be the weight, the bare rifle is about 7 3/4 lbs so depending on mounts and scope weight it will end up near 9 lbs, a little heavy for a sporter IMO.
