put simply, NO. Its a springfield. Take care of it cause there are some going for 1k and they are not any thing special just in good condition. that is all.

I have a Swedish Mauser in 6.5x55. Its been sporterized by some hill billy with a cut down 18" barrel and they cut down the stock. Bolt and reciever were modified to accept a scope.
I take it out and wonder what I can do with it every once in a while. But after looking over the options I really don't want to spend on it.

For 300-500 dollars you could buy a decent rifle in any cal. you could want. some of them come with a scope, those being redhead (aka Bass Pro's *always save* brand) but they will work fine for shooting deer and dumb hogs.
