At that price I would buy it. I do not own one but checked one out that was for sale. I took along my Leupold gold ring 12-40 to compare it. Honestly the Leupy was just as good. The one I was looking at the guy wanted $1400 so it was a pass for me. This scope is built tough and designed to be used and easy to carry. It is not top shelf optically, although still very good.
