I've always been a fan of weaver scopes because that's all Myself or my family ever used mainly in the last 35 years or so all have been the older Elpaso 2.5 or 3x and also a 10x target maybe not the brightest comparing to today's modern optics but none the less they are strong and dependable and never had issues of any type with those old steel tube scopes .
So how do the new Weaver scopes rate ? Looking at lower mag. 1-4 or straight 3x , and something that's fairly light weight , this will just be for hunting . Prefer a straight objective tube I just like the way they look and that's what I'm used to .
