#1 They're never going to be Nightforce or Steiner or Swarovski, but they are getting better and they're cheap enough to throw away when they break. I have a couple Hi-Lux (including a Leatherwood ART II on an M1A) and I like em.

Leupold Mark 4 LR/T 4.5-14x50mm

You may skip the card and gift wrap.

#3 I have an older MK 4. It's on a .300 RUM Remingtom 700 Sendero II Stainless fluted 26" barrel on a composite stock. Nice piece of glass

#5 I had a Hi-Lux scout scope on my M1A. The recoil destroyed it (lenses broken from mounts). Now I have a Vortex, so they can replace it when/if it gets trashed.

#8 And, no, I'm not bragging. If anything I'm somewhat ashamed at how much I have tied up in this stuff. Just somewhat...

#10 The old joke is, "When I die, will my friends please let my wife know what this stuff is actually worth!"

#11 That man who most grandly accouters
Himself is the envy of shooters,
And, ending his life,
Bids farewell to the wife...
And hello to her Ithacan suitors.
