Not worth it - not even close. The key is in the text - "force-matched numbers". This means that those rifles and scopes were thrown together from odd parts, and numbers were engraved on them to match, where necessary erasing or striking-out non-matching numbers. These are not the same as factory-issue guns where all the parts were numbered together at source.

Its rather expensive.

I suggest just getting a good condition rifle and buying a good scope and mount. Its your money, though for that cash you could get a much better firearm.

Its rather expensive.

Holy cow! That quite an understatement....

I'm no Mosin expert, but no - I do not believe that it's close to worth it.

that's why I ask now, still have Mitchells twitch from my M-48 lol

That's about right for a mosin sniper replica. If you were to buy an ex-sniper, get the proper bolt for it, or have a bolt bent, find a mount, have the receiver redrilled and tapped, buy a replica scope and rings, it would cost about as much as the asking price.

An original complete Mosin sniper will cost you 2-3x that right now.

Samco sells snipers without the scope, these are original snipers with the correct and matching bolt and simply need a PU scope and mount to screw into the receiver. http://samcoglobal.com/rifles.html

If you look around, you should be able to find a replica scope and mount for around $300-350.
