Recently picked up a scoped ATR100 270 for $259.99 at Academy. The scope (unmarked probably Barska) was so out of focus I thought I was going to have to take it back but after running the lens out about 3/8" it finally came in clear. The bolt was a little tight at first but loosened up after 4 or 5 shots. Take care, the first round caught me off guard since the trigger was set under 2 lbs. Is easy to adjust but I decided I liked it. Needed a 3' target to find paper but after at least a full wheel up and left I found the sweet spot and was shooting 1" to 1 1/2" groups at 80 yds (farthest I can get in my back yard without shooting a neighbor). I normally shoot core lokt but the store was out so I ended up with some cheap 130 gr Monarch. Sore shoulder but extremely pleased with this rifle.
