And I don't shoot daily but shoot a good amount. The MK4s we had in the military were thought of highly as well.
My only complaint with them is that stupid gold ring on the objective bell. I hate that thing, especially on my more modern rifles, but can't even get their custom shop to swap them out with a subdued ring. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.... it's a petty complaint but damn they look stupid.
