Yes it is worth it. If you take the time to find a good one and put a little tlc into it and this is a effective deer rifle. Dont waste your money on the scope mounts they offer online... There crap and rarely hold zero(minus those which are drilled and tapped). I dont like them because they require permanent modification. I think a better alternative is to simply remove the rear sight(theres a tutorioal on you tube showing how to do it). Beneath it you will find a 3/8" dovetail. This means the only money you need to spend is on a good scope and rings(an emphasis on the rings) the rest is just tlc and the right ammo.
