Is it worth it?
Today i got offered a brand new Winchester Model 70 22-250 with a synthetic stock, long range varmint scope, and a bipod. The lady is asking $650 for all of that. She won the rifle at a raffle but she only shoots a bow, no guns. Do you think it is worth it?

RE: Is it worth it?
I'd say it's a good deal. If the scope is worth $530, and everything is new, figure $650-530= $120. And if the rings and bases are a good brand, that's at least another $40. So you're getting a brand new heavy-barreled rifle for $80. There's no way you can but together a new varmint rig yourself for that cheap unless you buy a much lower quality scope. I say go for it. If you don't like it, I'd bet you part it out and make at least $100 off the whole deal.

Here, look at this. I'm assuming this is the same rifle you're looking at buying (the stealth). The guy wants $650 for the rifle alone with no scope or bases. For the price you're being offered the gun, you're basically getting a $530 scope and $40 rings and bases for free.
