I have 2.5X scopes made by Leopold, Burris, and Weaver and the latter is my favorite by far. It’s a shame they don’t make them anymore. I have three of them and use them on a #1 45-70 (ten years), a 375 H&H, and a #1 9.3x74R. (FWIW 4x and 6x Leupolds are what reside on most of my rifles. Though they aren’t as handy for sitting around shooting at inanimate stuff, they are an ideal combination of size, weight, sight picture, eye relief, and reliability, for the hunting I’ve done and do.)


The little Weaver 2.5X was a great scope. I bought one at a close-out sale; wish I bought 2 or 3.
