I own both a 4X Leupold and a 1-4x20 Leupold, likely own about 20+ Leupolds now. Both my .444s wear 1-4 Leupolds. If there might be a cartridge that should have a low powered scope for game that might run AT you rather then away when shot, I'd call the .444 one, myself. I can guarantee you that when something does that at very close range, you'd be better off having a 1-2X low end scope rather then a 4X fixed. I had a huge, nasty hog decide he wanted his revenge at under 10 yards and I'm glad I had a very low powered scope on top for the final verdict in the episode.

Simply my personal opinion, of course.
