Don't know about the new ones, but I have had two Weaver V-7's on for about 40 years. One had to be rebuilt . Other than that. They stay zeroed with a lot of abuse in the scabbard

Hi medic,

I've got a 4.5-14X Weaver Grand Slam. It's sitting atop my Win 70 7mm WSM at the moment and I've taken two deer with it last year.

How would I describe it? A hunter's scope without question.

It's got the best ergonomics of any scope out there (sorry Leupold). There's lots of matte rubber adjustments that a heavily gloved hand can adjust with ease. Elevation and windage adjustments are also very ergonomic with the dials having a raised portion for easy adjustment. Glass is pretty dang good too and I'd put it up against a Burris Fullfield, or Bushnell Elite series anytime.

Only drawback I see on mine is the eye relief. Leupold has it beat by a long shot. Not a problem with the calibers I've used but it's still
