I don't know what scope you're seeing on the webpage, but the one I see in the catalog looks like a run of the mill 1" tube Leupold Vari-X III 3.5-10x40 with standard Leupold target turrets.
It's like buying a used truck. If it was a 4x4, that would be listed. Same for the scope. If it was a Mark 4, they'd tell you. What they're peddling is a basic entry level tactical rig. You're not going to get much.
Why not call Remington directly on their 1-800 line and ask a human? Email response is usually garbage because they try to set up sutomated systems to deal with the thousands of emails I'm sure they get sent every day.

I have used the online access to Remington a few times since 2004. I have found their responses quick and favourable.
You may have to write more than once to get an answer. I had to ask about one topic a few times before it was understood what I was asking. I think we both were assuming the other understood more than what was.
I have copied and pasted below my questions (in italics) and Remingtons answers. I think you will see they were trying to be as helpful as possible.

I am curious to know the different methods of barrel making Remington has used starting with the model 721, 722, 700 and the 40 X's.
It is my understanding you have used hammer forging for many years to make barrels.
Response (Kay) 06/18/2004 03:21 PM
Dear Dennis,
Welcome to Remington Country!
We hammer forge the barrels in our production rifles. The Custom Shop will utilize the hammer-forged method, but we turn our own contour and chamber the models to the minimum side of SAAMI specifications.
Thank you for your inquiry!
Customer (Dennis Sorensen) 06/18/2004 04:48 PM
When did Remington start to hammer forge their rifle barrels? Specifically
the 721, 722, 700 and the 40 X's. Always? Have you ever used any other
barrels on the 40X? On another topic, is it possible to date a 700 by serial
number?
Response (Kay) 06/21/2004 11:46 AM
Dear Dennis,
Hammer forging has been the standard method of manufacturing our rifled barrels. We have not made design changes on the Model 40X.
If you would kindly forward the serial number, we can research the approximate year of manufacture of the Model 700.
Have a good day!
Customer (Dennis Sorensen) 06/22/2004 01:34 AM
Thank you for you assistance. Could you tell me what year Remington first
used hammer forging as the standard method of manufacturing rifled barrels?
Have all custom shop rifles and 40 x's always been hammer forged? Also did
Remington ever use any Hart button rifled barrels on any factory 40 X rifles
back when Mike Walker was there? I am in a discussion with a fellow and I
need to know the correct answers.
I have a 700 BDL 25-06 serial number A6594692. Could you tell me the year of
manufacture? Thank you.
Response (Kay) 06/22/2004 01:18 PM
Dear Dennis,
We believe this terminology may be more helpful:
Remington has hammer forged the barrels since the first barrel was manufactured by our company. Of course, machinery has aided the process so it is no longer completely done by hand.
Our factory production barrels are rifled by utilizing a mandrel.
Our Custom Shop barrels are rifled utilizing the button rifling method.
Regardless of the rifling method (factory barrel or Custom Shop barrel), the barrels are "shaped" by hammer forging.
The serial number you have provided gives an approximate year of manufacture of 1978.
Enjoy your day!

Simple answer that will not bring you any satisfaction? They used whatever scope they had lying around for the photos. The words in the add said nothing of target turrets. Looks like a case of "may not be exactly as shown".

He probably did the same thing you and I did...looked at the catalog.
On the upside, you have an imminently resellable scope on your hands. Now you can buy a Nightforce. What kind of base came on the rifle?
