    I never thought the Tactical line from Lupy would ever be considered "low end"! But things are changing fast with Leupold, and I might be behind the times.(Bought a M1 4.5x14 last year) Anyway, as far as I can see, the only difference between standard Target turrents and Mark 4 turrents is that...
