Thanks! That's exactly the kind of answer I was looking for - a well-respected brand, scope with the right attributes, and not cheap junk.
Midway says "discontinued" -
https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1009767251 - and I admit I was unaware they had ever gone back into production.
The only others I see for sale are on ebay, which is problematic. Maybe it is time to swallow my pride and re-create an ebay account. Years ago I bought a couple of Dillon 450 presses on ebay, then they got weird about firearms-related stuff and I dumped my account. But I see scopes and presses there so looks like I was wrong.
Anyway I will look for a Weaver K-4 (or another Leupold M8) while continuing to look for feedback on the two makes I mentioned.
Thanks again!
