I bought a sportered and scoped VZ-24 on whim and paid about $150 for the whole thing. Seller told me his FIL put the rig together for hunting. I cannot remember the scope maker, but it has 8x magnification and some incredibly fine crosshairs that you cannot see in a cluttered environment.
It would be a nightmare to use in a location with a busy background. I think in today's market I bought a $120 scope with a $30 rifle attached.
