Rifle Scopes Springfield 4x14x65 gen3 goverment

Re: Springfield 4x14x65 gen3 goverment

i have a 6X20X56 mildot (first focal plane) and its been a good scope for me until i made it to the IOR & NF $$$$$


They are normaly overpriced now days

The 4x14x56 gen 3 that i original had would not follow the ballistics past 500yds - Springfield swapped me for the 6x20 standard mildot

bit mushy knobs and the 7.5moa per turn drives me nuts sometimes
glass is good, holds zero fine, solid construction

so over all - i would only buy it if it was a very good deal ?$400 max ?

Check eGay and GunBroker for pricing on these scopes. Seems that the crazies on eGay will pay top dollar for these scopes for some strange reason (to the tune of close to $1k is about the worst I have seen). I think that there have been one or two sell here in the last several months for around $400 or so.

In terms of value for the money you will pay to get one these days...forget it! If you paid $100 you aren't getting value for your money!

I had one. It would not hold a zero. I sent it back. They inspected it, told me it was fine, and returned it to me. I re-mounted it. It would not hold a zero. I gave it away.
