Just a question. Rec'd a vintage steel tube 8x Weaver at the shop for a restoration project, however the first lense glass at the eyepiece end is cracked severely any way to obtain a replacement for this lense piece?

I have Weaver scopes, one a fixed K4 and one a V16, I am very happy with them and they have not given me a bit of trouble. I know alot of people will say "Leupold " but comparing them side by side, you will be hard pressed to see any difference. I work part time for a gunshop here and have had several Leupolds come back in to be sent for repair, but never had a Weaver come back.

the newer weavers have great glass,...but for adjustment integrity,..go with the Grand Slam version in the lower powers if you are using it for close range work. But then again,..close range doesn't require superb adjustment integrity anyway.
I will champion the Burris line whenever asked,..I think they are some of the best optics available in the price range.
I am not a Leupold Groupie,...but I still own several. I have a 8.5-25x50 MK IV M1 and a vari-x II 3-9x40. Both are great scopes. With that being said,...even I have to admit that if you see more leupolds going back to the factory,..it is due to the fact that there are more of them purchased than most other brands,..therefore law of numbers dictates that the return rate will be greater.
why chase the game when the bullet can get em from here?....

I have a Grand Slam on one rifle and it is a decent scope. I would probably not go with one of Weavers lower-priced scopes. Like JustC I am a fan of Burris, and also like Leupold, though not quite as well. Most of my scopes are Burris. Elk shots are often just at first light, and the Burris scopes deliver the image. 0 -
I have several Leupold's and have sent several back for repairs, they dont seem to like the recoil of 300 and 338 Mag rifles, I have gone to the B&L 3200 and 4200 and am well pleased with both of them, cant see any differnce between the 3200 and 4200, so will buy 3200 from now on, their cheaper. I think Bushnell is the same as the B&L. 0 -
I believe that the Burris glass & coatings give me the clearest, brightest image for the money, and to keep jobs in the US.
I KNOW that the quality of scopes/sights used can make or break a hunt... even while deer hunting for the day or the weekend in the Eastern US.
I use Weaver scopes on my 22LRs, 22 magnums, and slug guns. They will not find a place on my high powered rifles.
To save money I buy used Burris or Leupolds. The guarantee is still good as long as there is no visible sign of abuse on the outside, or they have not been opened.

I have a Weaver K-6 on a .220 Swift Model 70. I bought the K-6 new thirty two years ago. Appears as good as when I bought it. No problems at all. Have a Weaver variable 3-9X on a .30-06 which I experienced some problem with a couple weeks ago but turned out to be my fault. I'm sold on them. 0 -
TANKS.
I love my Weaver scopes. T-6 and T-10 on my Rem. 40x's (308 and 22lr), K lines all over my sporter 22's (love the post reticals), a couple of V's, Marksman's and an old C on a Mauser 22.
I own Burris and Lepould's and they are very good scopes.
I have never readjusted a Weaver once it's been mounted. They are tanks.
