Welcome to the board Kevin!!
Once you get started at handgun hunting, you are going to be hooked.
As far as the package goes, in reality it's worth whatever you are willing to pay for it.
I've always played with Contenders & revolvers, & just bought my 1st Encore.
It was a blue 7mm-08. I paid $390 for it & felt I got a very good deal. Still do. We'll cal it $400. for round #s, (& I would have given that for it).
While it's in very good condition, there is a little bluing wear, & a couple of nicks in the wood that show it's been around the block. It had a Weaver base but no scope or rings.
I bought a new Bushnell 2-6x scope & Warne rings that cost me another $200.
So I have $600. in my used Encore with New scope & don't feel bad about it.
I don't know where you live or what you hunt, but if the 270 is a good caliber for your situation it doesn't sound uout of line to me if it's all "as new".
Of course even though he says "deal or no deal" I would have to offer him $600 anyway (gotta try), or at least get some ammo thrown in. Worst he will do is say no & then he'll be glad to take your $650.
I assume it's blue & not stainless?
Does it have the "muzzle tamer" compensator? Not really needed for this caliber, just wondered what made the "Hunter Package".
Hawkeye mentioned a "new" frame for $225., but all I've seen new were $300+
Doesn't mean they aren't out there though. There's a lot I miss
Again, welcome!!!!
