The Zeiss has a long tube allowing to fit on long actions. The Leupold does not. If you want a fixed four on a CZ 550 magnum action, or on any .416 Rigby sized actions, the Zeiss is the way to go. This is what I believe drove the buyer to this extreme price.

I have one sitting in my safe. Maybe I should list it.

Bob, what do you consider to be "reasonable"?

I bought one from a LGS. This thread reminded me that I had it. (grin)
I just looked through it and it definitely has the "wow" factor.

Wonder what the chances are of Doug being able to get Zeiss to do a batch run of them for Cameraland (offering them to campfire members first of course) I know I would be speed dialing him today to place my order.

Gregg they are listed on the website as unavailable. The world is mostly variable crazy except for a few cranks (like us). Dunno if they would do it.
You might ask Doug(?). I have been lucky to buy a pair the last 2-3 months.
