I've no experience with Weaver scopes, other than simply looking through them while shopping around, but comparing them to Nikon, they were very similar in optics quality. I settled on a Nikon Pro-Staff 3-9x40mm for the price. It was a great scope for the money; light gathering and clarity was outstanding.

I would pick the Weaver Classic V over the Nikon Buckmaster. The Weaver has Fully Multicoated Lenses. I would however pick either one over a Leupold Rifleman which does not have click style adjustments.

I would look seriously at the Weaver Grand Slam scopes. I find Weaver scopes to be very good, perhaps even on par with my Leupolds, but for less money. In my research I have found this to be a commonly held opinion.

Weaver Classic line have pretty good optics, strong one piece tubes, and good adjustments. They are also very light. I have several.
I don't own a Nikon, but looking through them I would say that the optics are a little better than Weaver. The Nikon does not have a one piece tube, and several people I know have had mechancal problems with Nikon scopes - this is the reason I don't own one. Personally, I prefer Bushnell Elites over all others (good value) |

In my opinion, the Weaver scopes are one of the most under rated scopes out there. Value for money, they can't be beat and will give Leuopold a run for it's money. They are that clear. The Buckmaster is a pretty good scope, however, field of view is quite narrow. I'd get the Weaver if you are not too concerned about reticle choice. I do have both and compared them.

I've got a Weaver V-16 on a target 22 rimfire bolt gun. For the money, it is really great. Optics are clear (but not as good as Leupold) and the adjustments have been totally repeatable and accurate. I think I paid $289 from SWFA a few years ago for it. Wouldn't be my first choice for one of my better varmint guns but on a budget it is a good scope for the buck.

I was just looking at the 1.5-5x32mm Grand Slam just last night, and it looks to be a pretty good piece of glass. Perfect for an AR. |
