I had a 4.5-14(the old style, no side focus) on my 7mmwsm model 70....great set up!! compared to Leupold....better than the VXII...VXIII is much better, but way more costly. In my opinion, the Buckmaster is a great scope for the money, mine took a beating in the freezing cold of the Virginia mountains to the stupid heat of central Florida.....never lost zero, never anything but clear. If you're on a mid-range budget, I don't think you can go wrong.
