I wandered into Dicks sporting goods this afternoon looking for some new boots and I stumbled over into their small firarms section. I am not typically one to buy guns in "big box" store but this deal seems to be pretty damn hard to beat.
Now to the crux of the issue, they had a Remington 770 in .30-06 including a Bushnell scope for $319.00
I do not know much about Remington rifles or Bushnell scopes so I was crossing my fingers that you guys could answer a few questions for me.
If the Bushnell scope is garbage that is no problem, I have always been a fan of Leupold scopes myself.
#1 Is this a good deal? "Starting price" on Remingtons sight is about $100.00 more, and I have seen similar rifles WITHOUT scope starting at just over $400.00 new at my LGS.
#2 What quality of scope is a Bushnell, if a Leupold or Nikon was a 10 where would Bushnell fall?
#3 What is your opinion/review of the Remington 770 rifle? It felt natural and weighty in the right areas in my grip, how does this weapon stack up reliability and durability wise?
Anything you would like to add or bring up about this weapon or scope would also be appreciated.
