    I can't believe this hasn't sold.I have not seen any RSM's at this price point in any caliber.I have two of these and I sure wouldn't sell either that cheap.

    Need a scope for my CZ 550 .404 Jeffery

    My 416 has a 1x6 VX6 Leupold on it and has served me very well on two safaris and a lot of practice shooting.I also have a V4 Zeiss 1x4 and a V6 1x6 that I really like but the Leupold is hard to beat for the price.I'm not sure Zeiss still makes the V4 1x4 anymore.
