BTW, I think this scope is basically on par with a Leupold Vari-X III.
Is this used Burris Signature scope a good deal?

Thanks for the input! 
I talked to the guy at the LGS again before they closed (after he had a chance to talk to the owner to get approval on pricing, etc.) and, or course, the guy is now back-pedaling a bit from what he originally said might be possible. Not a huge difference -- the owner settled on $150 for the scope by itself, so the bases, rings, installation, and bore sighting would be in addition to that. They may still be willing to deal a bit on the price of those items, but we haven't settled on the details yet. I'm going to try to wheel-n-deal a bit more tomorrow and see where it goes. I'm thinking I may just try to do the scope through them, and then order some rings on-line and mount it myself.
I don't know if it will all come together or not, but I hope so. It seems like a great scope for the money.
On a side note, any opinions on/experience with Burris Signature Zee Rings (the ones with the synthetic inserts)? It seems like a pretty good design, allowing for easier fitment for a novice like me that doesn't have any specialized tools for lapping, etc.

Thanks! I guess I'll see if I can scrape the necessary funds together in a hurry and get it before someone else does.
The guy at the shop said a man passed away in the area recently that had a pretty substantial collection of firearms, including multiple rifles with quality scopes on them. He said the widow brought the stuff in and put a bunch of it on consignment with the shop. Apparently, the Burris that I'm looking at was part of the collection. Hopefully I'll be able to give it a good home soon.
