Hey Grouse45,
Yes. Both mine and my buddies came in with the new breech plug.

And as to the 14.5" LOP, mine isn't even close to that figure. It is more closer to 16". I am 6' and consider myLOP to be average, which is 14.5". I don't get it. But like I said earlier, I bought a set of Weaver Quad Four offset rings. These along with the Leupold Ultimate Slam, which has a 4.7" eye relief, should help take up the space and make it more comfortable to shoot. I ordered thescope from Cabalas. I could not find this newscope at any of the other optic stores. I like dealing with SWFA and Optics Planet, but they didn'tcarry the new scope.

Thescope is selling for $269.99 with free shipping. This scope is designed like the Nikon Omega, but it can be customized to any load you sellect and not one the company says to use.
