I always liked the Weavers also. I have four, all Japanese glass. These are very good. I just don't know where they are made presently or what, if any, the warranty is. You get to liking a glass, then, they sometimes disappear.

I liked that about the discontinued Weavers, too. Of course, that's just my perspective, others mileage may vary. And there is that lifetime warranty, as well.
I think the known issues are taken care of. If you have any issues or know of another member who is having issues, PM daytime dave. As we head towards the holidays, hunt with your Henry.

Re: Nikon to Leupold switch
I hear Ya Tom! There have been many things, especially clothing that I grow to like and when I want another, only come to find it is no longer stocked, or dis-continued.Rifletom wrote: ↑Fri Nov 29, 2019 12:24 pmI always liked the Weavers also.

If I were in tie-break decision between a Nikon and something else, I'd go something else. Conversely if the Nikon was a clear choice over something else, I wouldn't hesitate buying a Nikon.

Re: Nikon to Leupold switch
To add another scope into the mix. I just ordered (on a "Black Friday" deal) a Sightron S 1 Hunter 3-9X x 32 Rimfire scope, with a crosshair (kinda old school). Midway has them for $109.00. While I have only one Sightron scope, a low power shotgun/muzzle loader type, I've heard good things about them. This one is fairly compact, at about 11", fairly light, and is parallax set for 50 yards. Worth a shot, right?

Re: Nikon to Leupold switch
That actually seems to be a pretty nice scope. I like the specs on it. Can't wait to see what you think of it at the range.Yornoc3 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 30, 2019 11:06 amTo add another scope into the mix.

What are you going to put it on?
Re: Nikon to Leupold switch
I think I'll put it on a Ruger American .22LR, that currently is wearing an old Weaver 2-7 x 32 steel scope (first one I bought for myself, in 1970), which has been "upgraded" from a centerfire rifle quite awhile ago. It has a lot of nostalgia going for it, but that's about all
. If I put it on my CZ 452 .17HMR, I could free up a Burris Compact 3-9 x 32 for something else, though. Decisions, decisions...
. I will report on it when I get a look at it late this week.

Re: Nikon to Leupold switch
I suspect that good companies like Leupold will be experiencing an uptick in sales
