I have a Timberline in 4.5-14 on a Ruger Ranch Rifle, it is a very good scope, very clear, lots of eye relief.  Only negative I see is fairly small field of view (on higher power).  I would recommend them.  Tough and compact for a higher power scope.

I have used the Timberline 4.5X-14-32mm, Ballistic Plex on my Remmy mod seven 7mm-08 for over a year now. Very compact and mounts low. Optics are Crystal clear (same scope as their old short mag line). The AO is great. some have complained the turrets are a bit stiff to turn , I found them to be just fine. I have weaver quick release rings and early on swapped quite a bit between the Timberline and my Bushnell elite 3200 2-7x32. But now I find myself more and more sticking with the Timberline.

The Timberline is a lot of scope for the money. I have been more than satisfied with quality. Big Big bang for the buck.
I would certainly purchase another.
