anyone use the new weaver k-series scopes in either 4x or 6x. I had an old k4 and it worked well, wanted to get a new one to put on new deer rifle (remington 700 adl .270win). doubt that shots would be beyond 150 yards. any advice would be welcomed.

........I also still have a old steel K4 with the clicks on the outside of the knobs and it is a good one.....BUT for a new scope other than the Grand Slam series of the Weaver ...I would stick with the Leupold.....good used fixed 4x's go for a decent price and hold their value well.......the Weavers have not been holding value in the new versions..outside of the Grand slams......not a knock on the Weavers .....just a observed trend at the shops and feedback from other shooters......and the used Leupold goes for about the price of a new Weaver K....in my area.....hth..good luck and good shooting!!!

jp , I've had one of the new K6 s for several years . It's mounted on a .223 , so recoil is not a concern but I've carried that rifle and scope on my trucks and tractors year around and the scope has taken an incredible beating and held up well . I wouldn't hesitate to buy another. It's a darn good scope .

With the price being around $120 online , I think the resale value is sort of a moot point.........

gunslinger, do the new k-series have 1/4 audible clicks and do you find that they have enough eye relief?

Yes the Weavers have audible 1/4 minute clicks. I also have v16 , and both Weavers seem to track about as well as any scopes I've owned . The eye relief is not as long as say a Leupold , but it is adequate for stuff like .300 mags and down. The eye relief would be no problem on a .270 .
