The older Weaver "Classic" scopes (300,400.600,V700,V900)from the ealy '70's seem like great scopes.
I have seen a 300 and own a 400. I have the 400 on an old savage 340 and can tell you that it appears brighter than my Leupold Varix-II from the '80's.
They are aluminum with a gloss finish. One of the nicest finishes I've seen. The writer Bob Bell stated in one of his books says that the folks in the El Paso factory called the Classics the "$1,000" scopes. Apparently there was not a lot of profit in them.
I have the original box from my 400 that I bought on Ebay. Cabela's sales sticker says $46.79.
The old Classic series are great scopes if you can find one. I regret letting that 300 get away from me.
