Boc, I have been too busy the last few days to check out the Weaver 4K, that came with my gun. If it turns out to be a good scope, I doubt that I will ever change it out for a "modern" scope!
I would love to find a similar Savage 99 in .250/3000 caliber just for the extra range that the .250/3000 has.
