Thread: Weaver scopes- no longer

It’s very very annoying.

ATK / Vista Outdoors acquired the Weaver brand and ran it in the same stable as Bushnell, Tasco, Millet, Simmons. Unfortunately there was a decision sometime back to brand a couple of ranges of cheap Chinese scopes as Weaver, which were crap, and totally undermined the brand as a whole which meant that excellent scopes in the Weaver Grand Slam and Super Slam ranges weren’t selling. Also there’s been a move to tacticool as we know, and neither of these ranges were sufficiently tacticooool....

The Jap made Grand Slam hunting scopes are excellent quality and way better optically and more robust than pretty all the competition in that price range. Their EBX / Ballistic-X reticles are also a perfect match for most common hunting loads in various calibers and cartridges.

I’ve recently been looking at a bunch of different hunting scopes and doing some side-by-side comparisons, Bushnell has changed their tier branding recently and I’ve got to say I am a bit disappointed with the new upper mid range offerings, which Vista have preferred over the top of the line Weavers.
