    FYI for those who are interested in such I have 3 scopes here that I will soon be reviewing for the site.

    Bushnell has sent over:

    FFP 6-24X50 and FFP 4200 3-12X44 for the site to look at as well:

    Midway has sent over a new Weaver Tactical for me to review.

    So, not this weekend but by next week we'll start looking at them.

    <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: _Shay_ ©</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Too bad that weaver doesnt have more adjustment... </div></div>

    I haven't seen any specs on the Weaver Tacticals other than the magnification (3-15x and 4-20x).

    How much elevation adjustment do they have? I am guessing 65MOA or less...which is unfortunate (depending on your setup and range of course).
     
    Re: Soon to be Reviewed -Weaver Tactical / Bushnell

    cool I'm very interested in both scopes. Curious as to how durable they are

    bomb proof? weeeee dun suppose you're going to do a video review of them?
     
    Re: Soon to be Reviewed -Weaver Tactical / Bushnell

    looking forward to these reviews. would be nice to see some side by side comparisons with other scopes around their price points. thanks for putting in the work.
     
    Re: Soon to be Reviewed -Weaver Tactical / Bushnell

    Heard a few different opinions on the Bushnells interested to see how it stacks up...they also came out with those 1600 ARC rangefinding binos I wish they would send you to review.
     
    Re: Soon to be Reviewed -Weaver Tactical / Bushnell

    Man, this is worse than waiting for Christmas. I am in the market for one of these scopes, need to buy before something else breaks in the house (it was the dryer this week).

    Re: Soon to be Reviewed -Weaver Tactical / Bushnell

    will be interesting! I am considering the weaver and the 4200 for my next build. Along with a SS and a couple others. After that it is SAVE SAVE SAVE for a couple nicer pieces of glass as my wife would have a stroke if I dropped a grand on a scope right now!
     
    Re: Soon to be Reviewed -Weaver Tactical / Bushnell

    any updates on the weaver scope?

    the $100 discount is about over, i was hoping for a review before the cut off to help me make the decision
     
    Re: Soon to be Reviewed -Weaver Tactical / Bushnell

    I have it mounted up but had a fever yesterday so I didn't get to the range. However Midway will be offering the "Hide" members promo codes for the month of June, so don't sweat the discount, it will still be available.

    The scope is exactly inline with the scopes similar in its class, the SWFA SS, and the Bushnell Tactical, so you are getting a very similar scope, although it is SFP. One note the Weaver is a 1" tube, so I don't know what the mounted and zeroed travel range is yet. But I will have more details in less than week.

    It's when they charge $100 less for a product than the normal retail price.

    They have been on sale at midway for the past month, sale ends this month.

    Re: Soon to be Reviewed -Weaver Tactical / Bushnel

    I have one of the weaver 3x10x40 tactical scopes from midway . I paid 299 for it . I am new here and dont want to crash somebody else's review especially when it appears the op is a trusted member who does this often . Im sure he is better at this than I. what I will say is I shot some 3 shot groups at 300 yds and made a 4 inch group in the head of a b-27 target. the load was some blemished 147 grain boatail fmj sitting over 40 grains of 3031 , more than likely not the most accurate load ,also my barrel is not free floated I will tend to that later this summer . here is a pic just to prove I have one

    Hey Frank, maybe I missed them, but did you ever get a chance to post these reviews?

    Thanks,

    Re: Soon to be Reviewed -Weaver Tactical / Bushnel

    As far as I know, Bushnell does not make an elite 3200 3-10x tactical.
    They make a fixed power 10x tacitcal that is the best bang for the buck going, but it has limitations.

    You are correct, my bad. I meant to show Weaver in the 3-10 x 40.
