[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 282558, member: 1521"] Clark brings up a good point,, weight. I have & like NF scopes, but they add ~a pound of wasted weight. Their eyepiece rotates on power changes, which mungs up flip-up cover operation/bolt turning. Speaking of which, NF puts a bungee scope cover in the box(which is poor in every respect), so people generally use Butler flip-ups. And, NF optics are pretty much the same as Leupold(medium quality). But they offer great reticles. That's their hook. With a Mk4, you can use the superior Alumina flip-ups. These scope are equal in accuracy and optics to NF, but lighter, and the eypiece extends without turning(as it should). Nearly same price... Get a reticle or other changes through the custom shop... The Mk4 wins -overall. If Leupold would offer it with better glass(as an option), there would not be 'better' anywhere. [/QUOTE]
