I was checking out the 4.5-14 version a while ago, but nobody around here has them in stock. I wasn't about to pay almost 1k on a scope without looking through it. I have heard Meopta's glass is very nice, but only heard. I ended up going with a Nightforce SHV 4-14 which is plenty of magnification to 1k yds and still good for the woods here in MI
