I recently bought this set up at wal-mart winchester super shadow in 243WSSM with rings mounts and a simmions 8 point 3X9X40 scope for 399.99 plus tax. For the money its good deal. Heres the rest of the story, I love the 243 win and have taken deer out to 275 yd so I have no doubt that the .243WSSM will work just as well. THe scope is OK but Ihave put a simmions ATEC on it just for a little better scope. The riflle itself shoots very well and shot 1 1/2 easy BUT the TRIGER is really BAD way to hevey for my taste I have the gun at the gun smith as we speak haveing 2lb trigger did. Overall I really like this rifle caliber combination Hope This Helps
