jobob Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Anyone have any experience with this scope? Looks like it might be a winner. http://swfa.com/Weaver-1-5x24-Tactical-30mm-Rifle-Scope-P49447.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert King Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I just mounted mine this weekend and will be shooting it on my JP at the Montana match next weekend. I liked it for the couple hours I had to play with it out in the desert yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear1142 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Robert, How thick are the stadia lines? They look pretty think in the picture. What other scope would be similiar with respect to reticle thickness? TIA, Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobob Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 My biggest concern about this scope is that, since the reticle is in the front focal plane, is it visible enough for close-in targets at 1x, and is it too coarse for precise shooting at 5x?

Dwain C. Baer Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Anyone have any experience with this scope? Looks like it might be a winner. http://swfa.com/Weaver-1-5x24-Tactical-30mm-Rifle-Scope-P49447.aspx Overall, it should prove to be a fine scope...for many different applications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert King Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I won't know to much until after the match this weekend. But with the little shooting I did, I think the reticle at 1x is just about perfect for up close. At 5x, I easily spun the double spinner at 165 yards in just 6 shots. I'm not sure what the lines would compare to in another scope. I have only played with a few and this is my first scope with a first focal plain reticle. I like it, but will wait until after I shoot it in an actual match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert King Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I shot it this weekend at the Montana State Multi-Gun and just loved it. Only shot out to around 450 with it, but the BDC dope I had combined with what weaver provides was spot on. We had 14 rifle targets on stage one, from 150 out to 400 and I only had to throw 2 extra rounds to nail each one twice. I also had the best finish I have yet had at a multi-gun match, so this scope is a keeper for me. I will still go for the Leu 1-6 with a custom reticle when they come out, but the Weaver will stay in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Is the illumination daylight visible? I handled one at a shop today, but it didn't have a battery in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert King Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Is the illumination daylight visible? I handled one at a shop today, but it didn't have a battery in it. At 1x, not really. At 5x, it was just ok on the sunny day and pretty good when shooting from inside a bunker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fighting-tupperware Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Anyone have any experience with this scope? Looks like it might be a winner. http://swfa.com/Weaver-1-5x24-Tactical-30mm-Rifle-Scope-P49447.aspx sorry to lead the topic astray for one second but if someone that owns one of these could tell us where they are made that would be a huge selling point for me.

Steve RA Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I think I have read, on another forum, that the lenses are from Japan. Not sure where they are assembled, here or there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert King Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Im pretty sure the weaver scope is from Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 How about the 1.5 x 6 Weaver with the German reticle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
