    LOKO383,

    The rifle is a Pre-64 design Model 70 action with a hammer forged barrel screwed into a Hogue stock. The biggest problem with this rifle is the stock. For $800, I'd sure as heck like a better stock than that POS. I've shot these from brand new to slightly used and the accuracy remains the same until you change the stock. You can do better for less.

    Here is a decent review of the rifle:

    Here is the review for the Remington SPS Varmint::

    I've seen these for as low as $500 at some suppliers and you might see them cheaper on occasion. Change the stock for a good one and sell the Hogue.

    And the Remington SPS Tactical (same Hogue stock as the PBR):

    Now, as to the scope, look for a better one and skip the heavy duplex reticle. Look at the Burris varmint scopes with a fine duplex or target reticle. Skip the Warne rings and get the Burris Signature rings

    Best.
