[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 335091, member: 10832"] I'll add my 2 cents. :) I personally really like Weaver scopes. Their GS and V16 scopes have been very good IMO. I love their mini target turrets, and they have been rock solid as far as durability and toughness is concerned. I originally got turned onto these for use with precision airguns which belive it or not are much harder on scopes than centerfires. They track wonderfully for me and have good to very good glass, the GS is better than the V series and supposedly the Super Slam is even better. For the money I think they are a good deal. Shop around as some retailers want a golden nugget for one! Having said that they have gone through some tough times the last couple years. Now that they are back under the ATK umbrella I think they are moving in the right direction again. I have seen their Super Slam line and played with them but don't own one so keep that in mind. What I saw I liked though. They are a bit on the heavy side but I am told that is from the extra toughness they posses. I heard that their turret system on the SS is based off their T series which has a very good reputation in target circles. I have not verified this though. If they had the EBX in the V16 I would have one on a couple of my varmint guns just to play with. That scope is one of my all time favorites for non-big game hunting. If it didn't have the AO on the bell it would make a good whatever you want kind of scope. I personally don't do AO's on the bell of my big game scopes. I have seen more scope failures of the AO than anything else and don't want to take that risk. They have it in the ballistic X now and I may play with that and see how I like it. Good luck in your search. [/QUOTE]
