I have bought a couple of Rossi rifle packages over the years and really the biggest drawback to the guns is their really cheap sights. So who cares what your scope costs as long as it helps you to hit what you are aiming at. It does seem kind of funny to outfit a cheap rifle with a spendy scope, but its probably better than the other way around like so many people including myself do, and that is outfit an expensive rifle with a cheap scope lol.
