I know nothing about this brand of rifles except for reputation for being extremely accurate fine rifles. I do know that good peep sights are expensive so 250 is probably not out of line pricewise. I looked up Anschutz guns in my 1992 gun guide the only one I have and that particular model was not listed but most of them back then and they had a lot of models listed all were fairly expensive so I would not think that 500 now days would be out of line but I would find a newer gun guide or blue book and check the price on these to be sure.
