Academy had a sale last week on these. They were asking $179 so I picked one up out of curiosity. I put a Nikon 3-9x40mm on it and went to the range to see how it would perform. I was super surprised. After one adjustment, it was making a clover leaf at 50 yards no problem- with Remington 120GR HP. Yes, I know 50 yards isn't much of an indicator, but I had only bore sighted it and I HATE wasting ammo trying to start on 100 yards. I was in a hurry so I didn't get a chance to move on to the 100 yard target. I am taking it pig hunting this weekend so hopefully I will have a report on how it does in the field.
I wanted to get a throw around bolt action that I wouldn't worry about messing it up. This is definitely it.
I have around $380 in the entire set up . Well worth it in my opinion.
