Contact ilikebmxbikes. He's an awesome guy. See if he has anymore of them coming his way. When I purchased mine he had a bunch at Leupold. They have some scratches and markings but function as should. Come with the paperwork from Leupold showing what work they did to it. You could buy a new...
I purchased the mark 4 years ago. Sold it like an idiot and recently ended back up with one. Purchased on here. Military ones that were sent back to Leupold to be looked over and inspected. I really like it. Comes with a cover. Not the best but you can always upgrade that down the line. They...
Tikka is the way I'd go. What's your plan for the rifle hunting, range toy, or competition. I bought a used tikka t3x varmint for about $650 shipped on here a few years ago. Patience is a virtue. Couldn't be more pleased with it.

Thanks for reply. Been Wanting this rifle since you posted it but it would probably just sit in my safe. If it was in the 7 pound range I probably couldn't resist.
I can't believe it either. I'm trying to justify buying this and telling myself I don't need it simultaneously.
Would go well with my tikka varmint rifle. If I wasn't about to buy a leupold spotter I'd have snatched it up.
