OK, I know it's cheap, but take a look. It's a really nice little scope.
I posted here about a Leupold VX Freedom 1.5-4x20 and wasn't thrilled with it, so I bought a Weaver 1-3x20 Classic V-3 to replace it. I posted about that one too.
Once I got past the looks of the Leupold, I decided to keep it AND the Weaver. Pretty equal to my eye in clarity, distortion and quality. Both excellent "bargain" scopes, but the Leupold is ugly and it ticks me off they had to do that to it, but I sucked it up.
Well, The Weaver is apparently discontinued now and my guess is that the V3, 1-3x20 will still be around, but probably a Philippine version to replace the Japanese version? No idea, but I do really like the Japanese Weavers and especially like the 1-3x20, so I grabbed another one at $120 and free shipping. Dang, that's cheap!
The Leupold turned out to be nicer than I expected, but the looks (I knooow....) still turn me off enough that when the V3 went on sale at Natchez, I decided to dump the Leupold and pick up another Weaver. With the Leupold warranty, I may live to regret the day I let my superficial side defer to the slender beauty of the Weaver, but I've made my choice. The Leupold will be sold and another sleek, svelte little "looker" will take her place. Maybe I'm a rotten human being. I guess I'll just have to find a way to live with myself.
To be fair to Weaver - this is a really nice little scope and the price Natchez has on it is a killer deal. If anyone is going to snatch these up and enjoy them at such a bargain, I'd prefer it were those here who's company I have come to appreciate here as it's a great deal.
