Hi yes the scope and scope mount is worth far more then the rifle ... The thing I like best about this mount is you can flip one lever and the scope slides right off and you can use the sights ... I reason for leaving the middle sight on is you can line up the rear sight middle sight and front sight and obtain very fine sight alignment have a look ...

When Waterman asked about the barrel sight I did not see the rear sight. A bit of redundancy. While the rear sight looks like it could be very accurately adjusted, it does appear fragile. Kind of a toss up whether the barrel sight would be needed in an emergency. Being prepared is a good thing in these trying times.
