I tried searching for this and the only found a thread i have allready started a few days ago.So if this is allready covered somewhere i appoligize.
My question is what are your thoughts on this scope. I know it has 100 moa of ele.-win.
I am working on another savage that will be used for a tac.-hunting style rifle.He likes the idea of target turrets.he also likes the idea of moving through the brush seeing how the target turrets are covered with caps.
I the quality as good as a lets say 3.5-10x40mrk-4,it seems like the price is a little lower on this scope espicially for a mark 4 with mil-dots.Is this a true mark 4 or is this a souped up vx3. also does anyone have a picture of this scope with the caps 0ff? thanks everyone.

This is a good scope. I have one one on my 300 wby. While I wish it had 1/4 MOA clicks rather then 1/4 inch it is still a very good optic for the money. If you want pics of one with the caps off go look at pics of my rifles. I leave the caps off my scope.

All MK4's are pretty much "souped up" VX3's (not the new VX3's - they have a different coating on the glass) w/ the exception of the fixed ones. They are a little cheaper because they come with target turrets not M1's, M2's or M3's. Hope this helps.

Great work on busting them yotes...
Jesus If I could find a field like that, full of yotes with such a view in MI
I'd quit bitching about my taxes here!

This is my favorite spot up the road from my home...
I have spent a few hours here....

The MK4 4.5-14x40 is a great scope. I have been using one for almost 2 years on a duty rifle. Shot the best at my sniper school with it, but I'm now upgrading to a Nightforce.

Your round will go transonic before you run out of elevation. Theoretically that combo would get you 70MOA of elevation in a perfect world.

Hairy, Yes. The mil-dots subtend correctly at max power. That being said, once you get the scope, confirm yourself independently and check tracking. The little screws that hold the outer turret in place (to set zero) also have a habit of stripping out over time. Keep an eye on those. If they fail to engage properly and shake loose from recoil you are likely to make a false correction.

I've got this scope and it's nice. Go through the fed/mil program and you should be able to get it for around 700-800$. Here's a look at max power on a 100y target.

SWFA Samplelist I got mine for $649. ($720 shipped to the house and that is with paying Texas Sales Tax as the folks at SWFA are up in Dallas/Forth Worth area) I could get a NEW one through Leupold Fed Mil Program for around 700, but I am paying same price and I get to keep my "1 wish" from Leupold in my back pocket, as I have an AR build and a .260 Build going on right now too.

leupold said the price will be the same as the 3.5-10x40/M5, but they aren't gonna do it until more inquiries come in.

i'm selling my 4.5-14 cause they won't do a retro fit right now

the 4.5-14x40 Mk4 Target is my favorite small profile scope. I have it on my AAC-SD, and at 16oz it keeps the overall weight of my light target rifle at under 10lbs unloaded. Sub-$1000, tons of travel, light weight, Mil Dot reticle, etc.. etc... and it should fit almost any need!

Been Looking at the 4.5-14 myself. I have a converted VX-III with TMR reticle and M1 turrets on my 22 trainer.

I am seriously looking at matching it with a MK 4 and Illum Ret for my SR25-MK11 paper puncher.

Seems like a perfect match for that rifle (my ACOG deal posted on another thread went away-- The same guy is looking to trade for this scope.).
