Sounds like a good one. You sent it back for heavy duplex, replaced the #4...
Cerakote sounds good. That scope had seen heavy use, hauled around for years in a pickup, mounted on a Ranch Rifle, busted a bunch of 'yotes. The finish had a few slick places.
Those M8 3X Leupold scope are about bullet proof, hard to kill.
Should do well on that big boomer.
