Yes, it's a good option. A bit tight on eye relief at times. A bit short on tube-mounting-length, which can make it a tight to impossible fit on some long actions.
I have a bunch of the Weaver classic K and V series scopes. I also have a bunch of Leupold VX-I's and II's. Aside from the shorter eye relief that DakotaDeer mentions, I consider the Weaver's better than the Leupold's. Optically they are pretty close to dead even but the Weaver's adjustments are clearly better.
My thoughts also.
