I like how the "baseline" Optima model comes with either the sights or the scope mount readily installed---all one needs is a scope.
With $250 being the standard price for a stainless rifle+mount, it's going to be a more affordable option than even an unusually cheap Traditions Vortek. Seems like, from reviews across the web, that with the BH209 plug and BH209 the rifle is capable of MOA groups at 100 yards.
From what I've read and a few unfortunate events when my uncle has hunted, I'll avoid Powerbelts. Thinking about shooting Barnes TEZ's and maybe a cheaper lead plinking round for plinking.
