Weatherby Vanguard S2 package good deal?

[sshoreguy22]

Hi guys,
I'm going to be buying a new rifle this week chambered in .308. I really like the look and accuracy of the Weatherby Vanguard series 2. Plus I have owned guns from them in the past and I am extremely satisfied with the brand. I think I will get the Synthetic Package shown here:

I know this is suppose to be a good scope but is the whole package worth the price? I don't wan to here about better guns I like this one. I just want to know if it is smart to buy the package. It is priced at $1000 but I can get it now for 800. I do not know much about bases and rings so I don't know what they are worth. What are your thoughts? Is this a good deal?

I like the rifle. The scope would probably be considered lower end.

What will you be doing with it? Hunting, targets, sniping?

What would the rifle cost without the scope?

ETA: I checked the Davidson's price for just the rifle, which was $526.99 here in VA for just the rifle or $820.99 for the package. I would just buy the rifle and then put a $300 Leupold or Nikon on it.

Does anyone know if money wise all the parts add up to be worth this much?
