Are you open to other options than the Leupold? I recently picked up a Burris 1-4X Euro Diamond that seems pretty nice as far as build quality and optics go. I got a blemished one for the same price as the Leupold, which I was originally looking at, and it has an illuminated reticle. It is a little big though. The Nightforce NXS 1-4X is very compact with great optics and quality as well but you pay for it.
