Koshkin's suggestion is a darn good one. the IOR fixed are really nice and are available w/ #4 reticle.
BUT for under 200 bucks - i have the 4x40 monarch UCC and it's really good. plex reticle though. i hunted w/ it the weekend and was very please at the lowlight capability AND sight picture.
but if you have the money - IOR is the way to go, IMO - if you want to save, the nikon monarch is great.
good luck.

The Weaver GS 4.75 may be discontinued, but it is still available and I have seen it advertised for $140, not including the Weaver rebate for GS scopes.

I would have to consider the IOR or a Kahles off here

The Leupold is a very good 4x, also. |

The 4x Monarch is discontinued and I remember seeing them here not long ago for about $170, should have bought one.
I never new about the Grand Slam 4.75 until recently. I was thinking a 5x scope would be just right and saves the trouble of having to decide between 4x and 6x. The price I saw was $280, after the rebate should be $230 but has anyone actually got a refund from the rebate?
I'm hesitant to fall for rebate "trick" because in this last year I bought a Bosch drill what had a rebate which I didn't get, I bought a Mac laptop and didn't get the rebate and 2 years ago bought an Olympus binocular and didnt get the rebate. I think the rebates are a scam to get us to buy but they never pay out.
I didn't like what I read about the IOR in this review and I don't like that its a heavy scope... http://www.chuckhawks.com/valdada_4x32mm.htm
For now, I'm going to cheap-out and try the K4 4x38, it's $117 & free shipping. If it doesn't work out I can use it on a 10/22.
A new K4's actual magnification is 3.7x and it has an exit pupil over 10mm so it should be bright even though it doesn't have the quality of glass as the Nikon or IOR.
I'll try it out and let you guys know how it does.

As a general comment, when it comes to optics, Chuck Hawks is an incompetent hack (I am trying to be nice here).
I have not had any problems with IOR's adjustments whatsoever. As for the steel tube, it has both advantages and drawbacks, certainly. #4 reticle is my favourite reticle, but that is certainly a matter of opinion. ILya Edited by koshkin |

Maybe I was unclear in my post. The price on the 4.75 Weaver GS was $140. If the rebate works, and I see no reason it would not, that would be an added savings. That said, I used a Weaver K4 for years on a 30-30 and it worked fine for an inexpensive scope. I have had a similiarly good experience with a Weaver V3.

I also have the V3 and it's great. My good experience with V3 is why I think the K4 should be just as good.
Were did you see the 4.75 GS for $140? If I could get that price I'd buy it. Smitty Edited by smitty |
