It seems that fine crosshair high-powered target scope options are becoming more difficult to find. I've looked and own some of the leupold VX3 series with their target dot and fine crosshair models. I like them but even they are becoming harder to find. Are there any other options out there I don't want cheap barska or tasco stuff but not a $1,500 optic either

500-600 somewhere in this area.

Weaver T-series are the shiznit. I use T-24 and T-36. They're fixed power so keep that in mind.

Ya I've looked through them but it seems that Weaver is falling out of the scope market.  Has anyone heard is Weaver going to hang around

Yeah. They'll be around a good while. I see where your concern comes from with Nikon's sudden exit from the market but that's probably a good choice on their part because their business market was never weapon centric so they could never be as efficient as more focused companies and they didn't really ever innovate in scopes which is where the market went. When Nikon started in the market they were one of the top choices and it was their ability to make relatively simple but high quality scopes that got them into the market. It was a smaller market then with a lot fewer specialized features in common public use. Weaver is one of those brands that's very much shooting sports centric and has pretty much always been and they don't have to rely on innovation but on low price point for their high margin volume sales and they can afford to make their margins more slender for the high end stuff, especially since there's a very limited market space for the kind of competition oriented scopes they make. If you're worried about service/support I think you shouldn't spend a lot of sweat on that. Of the >100 Weaver T series I see regularly on the match lines, none have ever needed service and they get their knobs twisted A LOT. Keep in mind, target scope means target scope. They're not meant to be bashed around.
