Thread: Weaver Grand Slam 4-16x44 opinions

Always makes me laugh in these threads when the OP says I want to/can spend $x and people go saying spend $2x or save up $3x.
Personally I set a spend limit on an item for a reason. If I could justify/afford $2x I would say I can spend $2x. I assume other people do the same.

You know what, I've bought enough average gear wishing I'd spent more and bought what I really wanted instead of making do, optics is certainly worth clearing the gorse out of your pockets or selling your ass on the corner to go that little bit better.
Was only trying to pass on what I have experienced and save you the hassle of buying something you may end up wishing you'd spent more on, and unlikely to get your money back on when you decide you do really need better optics or something more suitable for your needs.
If the O.P only has $500 you could certainly do worse than a weaver but to be fair I also think there are better scopes out there for $500 too.

I think that's what he is wanting to know.

Yes please, if anyone has something better please let me know. I want to put it on a 223 so I like the 4-16 range for hares, rabbits and magpies to @300 and I'm a simpleton so not really into dialling but like the Weavers ebx reticle with the holdover lines
