Optics and field capability

Nikon Prostaff 5: practical and reliable

The included Nikon Prostaff 5 2.5-10X40MM scope offers a bright sight picture and a versatile magnification range. At 2.5x the optic is useful for quick target acquisition; at 10x it gives adequate resolution for precision shots at extended ranges in legal hunting distances or target work. Having a quality optic mounted from the factory reduces setup time and gets you to the range or field faster.

Value and assurance

At $649.99, the package price reflects the rifle plus a scope and essential accessories. The Certified Used status ensures technicians inspected the rifle, and the inclusion of the owner’s manual and sling mounts means the rifle arrives ready to configure to your needs. The no-questions-asked return policy further reduces the risk associated with a used purchase.

Practical considerations for buyers

As caliber information is not listed, confirm chambering on the product page or with the retailer before purchasing if you have specific ammunition preferences. The Smith & Wesson name and Thompson/Center design heritage indicate a focus on dependable feeding, solid trigger feel, and ease of maintenance. For shooters who want a ready-to-use bolt-action rifle backed by inspection and returns, this offering is a straightforward, budget-conscious option.
