The real shame is that you probably can’t find the last version of the 2.5X scope which Weaver made. They are fine scopes for the purposes you intend. Compared to the Leupold 2.5x the Weaver has a bigger, brighter view and, being slightly longer, is easier to mount. 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.)
Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.

You guy are hilarious. Leupold scopes are FAR cheaper than S&B scopes, regardless as to wether they are fixed or variable. Odviously S&B doesn't care what their scopes cost. Leupold does. E I find it odd, no pun intended, after being told 100's of times that "odvious" is not a word, that you still write it that way . , . try "OBVIOUS".

The little Weaver 2.5X was a great scope. I bought one at a close-out sale; wish I bought 2 or 3. Bob ![[Linked Image]](http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii27/RobertOIF2/DSC_1881_zpscf143d49.jpg)
