Brand new Remington from Bud's is $557. We'll just say $600 with the transfer for a round number.

The XLR Element chassis like the one in the picture is $595 so let's just call that $600 too.

So, I'm into the rifle for roughly $1200.

A Badger scope mount is $150 and a decent enough set of rings about $50.

So, I'm into it for about $1400 and just need a scope. And since I'm not taking this thing to battle or shooting a thousand yards with it, I bet I can find something suitable for now. Maybe one of the Vortex Viper PST scopes. I'm pretty sure they offer a 4-16x44 for under $600 brand new.

So, I think it's doable.

I can always upgrade stuff down the road if I want to.
