well now this is interesting. looking for a scope for my new sbh hunter and was considering the weaver scope. dealer had a used black leopold, but wanted 150 for it. i think i can do better. how long have you had the weaver, and anyone have experience with them over extended usage? we had some scopes on our 22's, really accurate with the fine crosshairs but i dont know how they handle the recoil. i am guessing that it will hold up. family member of mine has worked for outers for years.
