I was thinking about trying one 4 my truck gun anybody have one. Look like 4 the money they would work on my stevens 223 thanks marty

It is actually 3x9x38. I have one and it is a decent scope for the buck.

It is a 2X10X38. I ran one on a 280 and another on a 300 Win for several years without a problem. I killed a bunch of animals with those scopes. The view looks a little narrow with the 5X factor but they work well and hold up well. I wish I had another one!

I have a Weaver V10 2-10x38 and think that it is a poor scope.

If you're looking for an inexpensive scope in that magnification range for your Stevens 200 in 223, I'd recommend the 3.5-10x40 Simmons Whitetail Classic that Natchez (www.natchezss.com) has on sale. I've mounted 15+/-of these scopes for customers and liked them so much that I bought 12 (to date) for myself, family, and friends. These are old stock scopes made in the Philippines. I like the 3.5-10x40 version better than the 3.5-10x50, as it can be mounted lower.

If you go out to www.natchezss.com, you can see these scopes in the March 2009 sales flyer. They are on the bottom of page 2, stock #s F03BN00053 for the 3.5-10x40 and F03BN00055 for the 3.5-10x50.

Since I really dislike the 2-10x38 Weaver V10, I'll sell you mine for $80, just enough $$ for me to replace it with another 3.5-10x40 Simmons from Natchez.

PS I have a 3.5-10x40 Simmons on my Savage 11 in 223 and it does a nice job with the 50 grain VMax Fiocchi factory loads.

I'm with Jeff on the Weaver V10. I've had a couple that came on rifles I purchased and didn't much like them. Both were short on eye relief and the field of view was cramped. There are lots of better alternatives including the Weaver 3X-9x that generally sells for less than the 2.5X-10X.

Jeff, (260remguy)

Tried sending you a PM. If you want to trade your Weaver 2-10x38 for a Simmons Whitetail Classic 3.5-10x50 let me know. What finish is the Weaver?

I'll take it for $80 if you don't want to trade it.

Let me check first to see if he will trade but if not I'll get back to you.

Sorry Bigwoods I meant the Weaver. If he doesn't trade you I'd like it.

Thanks, but the 50mm objective doesn't work for me.

Jeff

No problem

I have a number of Weavers, including the V10. I have not used the V10 too much yet. Maybe a dozen hunts.

They are good glass for the money. The best of the lot is the V16 in my book. I have had that scope for more than a dozen years and it has been used a lot on numerous rifles. It is a super repeatable optic.

I just picked up a Weaver 1.5x4.5 "extreme" the other day and it looks to be a good optic, but VERY heavy, as most illuminated are.

The Weaver V10 2-10x38mm I had was like looking through a tube. I could never achieve an edge to edge sight picture at any eye relief position. It was soon gone. If you like looking through your scope to see a black ring around the sight picture then by all means get one.

I've had better luck with the 3-9x38 than the 2-10x38. The eye box at 2 power is not good in my opinion on the 2-10 and what good is 2 power if isn't quick and easy to find your way through.

I'm a Weaver believer and own at least a dozen Grand Slams, classics, and classic extremes but I steer away from the classic 2-10. The classic 3-9 or 2-7 are better bets and the grand slam 3-10x40 is great.
