[Last Edit: dempsy1]
I got this Scope when I bought a rifle, it is great at the range, tracks great clear etc.  I took it hunting this morning and didn’t feel like the eye box was as big some other hunting scopes I’ve had in the past.  It’s a mil dot scope.  Am I just expecting to much?  I haven’t heard anything bad about them but I’m debating on keeping it or not.

Update scope is MK 4 LR/T 4.5-14x40 mil dot. I have not been able to find a lot or model sold or for sale currently so I’m still unsure on how to price it if I decide to sell.  Thanks for the input so far.

Could anybody help with a sale price if I decide to go that way?  It’s the Mark IV LRT model, only MK IVs I’ve seen on the EE were clone parts so their price may not be in-line.

Are you talking about your field of vision?  If so what magnification where you on?  Did you have a proper cheek weld and a full picture in the scope, no black showing on the edges?

I sold my MK4 6.5-20 M1 LRT years ago for around $500 I think.

OP, type your scope specs into google search bar and add eBay after, it willl pull up any current and most recent sells on the internet which will give you an idea of going price...

Absolutely!  I was just surprised it was so narrow at 4x in the field- didn’t notice any issues st the range but my 1st morning hunting I was hunting a field and felt my field of view was s little narrow-but the last few times I was coyote hunting with my Razor 1-6

I’ve tried!  Trust me, I’ve found similar options but not my specific one!

I think like you said in your first post that maybe you're expecting to much.  I can't find your model to find the FOV but the 50mm objective has 19' at 100yds so I assume yours is even less. It's just something that you can live with for hunting purposes or get a different scope for hunting unfortunately.

Need pictures.

I am 100% sure the Leupold Mark 4 line of scopes only came in a 40mm and 50mm objective lens size.

This, I just did a lot of searching and can't find any MK4 with a 44mm objective.

No such scope exists. Leupold never made a mk4 in 4-14. Nor in 44 mm. Maybe it’s a 4.5-14 40mm?

OP, a few things:

1. It’s probably a 4.5-14x40 or x50. There is no 44mm.
2. The Leupold Mk4 series of scopes is probably the most widely copied scopes by Chinese manufacturers. LOTS of fakes out there. Be sure it’s an authentic Leupold, consider contacting Leupold to confirm.
3. The 4.5-14x series of scopes shrinks the field of view on the lowest magnification. Look through it as you increase magnification and you’ll notice the diameter of the view expanding until you hit almost 6x.
4. Assuming it’s not a Chinese fake, price will depend on a few things:

- Illuminated or unilluminated reticle?

- First or second focal plane?

- 40mm or 50mm objective?

- M1, M2, M3, or M5 turrets? (Most are M1, 1/4” adjustments @ 100 yds)

Resale is $500-$750 depending on specs and condition. A model number would help.

You are correct it is a 40mm-I has that confused with something else

non illumination
2nd FP

I’m not sure on the turrets-didn’t have to move it much to zero and it’s been awhile since I did it.

That's a great scope.

The Vortex Razor 1-6 has a HUGE eyebox, so comparing this is a bad idea.

I know, I’m torn trust me!  Is it strange that it’s a mil dot reticle but adjustments seem to be MOA?

That’s totally normal and that was the standard for decades before mil/mil and FFP became popular
