I'm looking for a low power variable scope for my Marlin 336CS 35 Rem. I was gonna get a Leupold VXII 2-7x33. I saw the Weaver Grand Slam scope its a variable power 1.5-5x32 #800471. I think this scope may be just the ticket. I want a wide field of view when its turned down. How are these scopes? Thank's

NewYork.
I've had limted experience with Weavers, but they were all good scopes. I have some friends that swear by them. I don't think you'll go wrong with one. The one your looking at sounds ideal for a 45-70.
Best,
TnNuc

July issue of Rifle Magazine has an article on scopes and discusses the Weaver Grand Slam a bit. They indicated that it was a good scope.

They are made in Japan. Says so right on the scope. It also is one of the best scopes for the money that I have seen. I have a 1.5-5 on an 1895M and it has taken a pounding without a problem. Optically it is as good as any of the Leupold, Nikon or Burris scopes that I have.
