I also have many of the leupolds VX III's in 4.5x14 and cds options too, been super reliable and accurate holding scopes
have on calibers 338 ultra mag down to .22-250's
never had a issue with any of them(must have about 20 or so of these scopes too)
have seen them on sale many times for under 500 bucks too
all depends on where you whop and WHEN,
