It is high priced to me..... It could be a real mess as is.
You can find an 03-A3 for around $450 and do the work yourself if you want a 'scoped shooter'. I have a 1903-A3 without a scope that I can easily shoot open sites less than the size of my hand at 100 yards and I wouldn't change it for anything... The A3-03 is an awesome rifle using the iron sites. JMO
