Weaver grand slam opinions? comparisons?

[lubbockdave]

Any one care to comment on Weaver Grand Slam line of scopes? Durability, clarity, function etc... and how they compare to say Leupold, Bushnell, Burris and the like?

Thanks

I think they are VERY hard to beat as far as durability and function. I know a couple of folks that use them on their heavy hitters such as .45-70's and .444's. They are a tough scope, they say they just hold zero so good because of the micro track system Weaver uses. As far as the lense quality they are very clear but I'm not going to say they are the clearest scope you can get. When I bought mine I looked through a lot of scopes by Nikon, Leupold, Burris, Zeiss, Bushnell and others. I think it depends more so on ONES EYE than on glass quality or coating quality (MHO). Don't get me wrong there are the CHEAP and the GOOD scopes but once I got up into the $200.00+ scopes they were all CLEAR AS CLEAR can be to me. Out of all of the scopes I looked through in the $200 to $500 range the Zeiss conquest looked the brightest and clearest by a NUDGE. The rest were to close to call. I personally couldn't see spending almost double the money for Zeiss for just a NUDGE.
