Isn't that "Leatherwood" ...  Huh ?
  
All of my single shots shoot one tiny ragged hole with cast bullets ... it's just the following shots that tend to open up my groups Wink ...

Yes to both posts. 
Don't recall who he got his from, but a friend uses one on his 03A3 (I think it is) and it is a 'rebuilt' or modified model by someone (Creedmoor Sports or Champions Choice, if memory serves). They take off all the cheapo Chinese hardware and replace it with good/better quality. Have not heard him complain, so assume he is happy with the result.

Looks like a $466 simi copy of a Weaver 29S Smiley

Think the question was about this model of scope.

I have an 8X Malcolm Leatherwood mounted in the now separately available "Sniper Rings" and I'm here to say the rings are not too bad for the $$. They are not Unertls, but they are close. And they only cost $250 for the set. And they come with the mounts! And they even use an  "F" pin on the turrets!
