with it not haveing a parallax adjustment is anyone getting parallax when changing form one setting to another. by the pictures the turrets look larger then the scopes 1" body, how you all like the size.

Re: Weaver Grand Slam 3-10X Tactical Video
The turrets are big, but not overly big. I think they fit just right. I would have thought that more elevation would be available given the size, but it is a 1 inch tube afterall. I haven't noticed any parallax issues at all. With a top mag of 10x, you won't have much anyways. Hence why Nightforce doesn't even have parallax adjustment on their 2.5-10x.

Re: Weaver Grand Slam 3-10X Tactical Video
This is my first Mil/Mil scope, can anyone tell me if I would be able to use this to shoot steel out to 700 yds with a 308? I have it mounted to my 308AR in a LT-104 (no moa cant)
I'm not sure about how much adjustment is available in this scope. I'm trying to set up some long range steel targets and 700 is the furthest available. I'd like to be able to set something up out there, but be able to hit it.
Thanks

Re: Weaver Grand Slam 3-10X Tactical Video
Count the full mils you have and report back...
You want about 6.5 Mils for 700, on the conservative side, but you should have a lot more than that.

Never thought I would do it, as a confirmed MOA shooter, but at the price and with this review, it's hard to pass up. Cancelled the Mark AR order for $50 more than this one. Besides, it's going on an SPR-ish 223, where I don't have moa come-ups burned into my brain like I do with the 308, so the transition shouldn't be as hard.

What height rings should I go with on a Rem 700 with 20 moa base? I usually use TPS. I've never used a 1 inch tube though.

Not bashing you, but you really need to learn how to determine proper ring height on your own, instead of blindly relying on what others are using on their rifles (which may not even be close to your rifle's configuration). What works on one rifle may or may not work on another, so measure your own equipment properly and accurately and you'll have the information necessary to order the best ring height for <span style="font-style: italic">your particular rifle</span>.
Read <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">palmik</span></span>'s "<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Ring Height Info - How to Measure Correctly</span></span>" thread and learn something that any rifle scope user should know how to do themselves. Then pass this knowledge on to others in the future.

Re: Weaver Grand Slam 3-10X Tactical Video
Used mine last week at 100 yards and everything seemed fine (10x), today I took it out to 400 and seemed like everything was a little blurry at 10x. Is this to be expected with this scope? I just noticed everyone is saying the glass is great for the money so just wondering if my expectations are to high or maybe I have a dud. If there are any remedies to this I'm all ears. Also scope is sitting in Burris XTR rings set at 20 in/lb.

Re: Weaver Grand Slam 3-10X Tactical Video
RobT2K, Got one last week and mounted it on a DPMS LR 308B (18 inch barrel, 0 MOA Base). Zeroed at 100 yards with 175 SMKs running a tad over 2500 FPS. At the 1000 yard range on Saturday I was able to engage the 750 yard targets with 6.9 mils elevation. From my 100 yard zero I have a max of 7.2 mils in elevation with the 0 MOA base on my rifle. I can see a 20 MOA base/ring combination in the future for this rifle.

Re: Weaver Grand Slam 3-10X Tactical Video
How does this scope compare to the super snipers? Is the glass better? I'm assuming it's not quite as durable as it's 1". I also have a Bushnell 10x, and I was thinking of ordering the ss 10x as an upgrade. I could definitely use a variable as this will go on my target/ hunting rifle. I also really wanted mil/mil as it seems easier to learn on. Basically, I have the exact same question as tigmaned, how does this compare to the bushnell and the ss?

Re: Weaver Grand Slam 3-10X Tactical Video
Midway has these on sale for $299 again. Going to pick one up just to have lying around. Never know when you might want to have a dependable but not so expensive piece like this at your disposal. I know its not FFP, but it still has good uses.

Re: Weaver Grand Slam 3-10X Tactical Video
Just ordered one of these for my Savage 10FP based off of this review.
I'm still about a year away from being able to make a major leap forward in glass. This will give me a chance to spend more time shooting and learning more about the use of mil/mil.
They are back on sale at Midway for 299.XX till the end of April.

Re: Weaver Grand Slam 3-10X Tactical Video
It is a Midway exclusive product. It is still available, but looks like the price went back up to 399.99.
Link to page here
From reading through this thread it looks like they do a 100.00 discount every couple of months. If you don't have to have it rfn, then wait till it is on sale again.
I am very happy with mine, especially at the 299.99 price..

Re: Weaver Grand Slam 3-10X Tactical Video
Love mine! Only range real close is only 100 yards so a big expensive scope isn't needed. But i will replace it later on after some gun smithing.

Re: Weaver Grand Slam 3-10X Tactical Video
I'm deciding between the bushy and the this weaver as well. It's going on a 22 trainer for me so it's looking like the weaver is going to win out because of how much i could use the variable 3-10x vs. the fixed 10x at 22lr distances. i think both are comparable scopes, just a question of whether or not the variable is worth the extra $100, and if the elevation difference you mentioned is a concern or not for your application.

Re: Weaver Grand Slam 3-10X Tactical Video
Thanks in large part to this thread and video, I now get to enjoy this scope's excellent bang for the buck. Great scope for the money.
As previously mentioned (thanks for the tip BTW), the 4" Nikon sunshade fits this scope pretty well. Butler Creek lens covers are next on the list.
Russian rifles like this scope as well, in this case my .308 VEPR:

Re: Weaver Grand Slam 3-10X Tactical Video
The Butler Creek #26 lens cover seems to fit the Nikon sunshade the best. I tried a #27 and it was pretty loose on the sunshade.

The folks at Weaver did contact me promptly after i got in touch with them. At least the customer service is good! They're sending some new o-rings. Said I may have tightened the caps too much. Other buyers beware of this.

Re: Weaver Grand Slam 3-10X Tactical Video
got mine last week, mounted on a Savage 10FP, fit is fantastic! this scope is VERY high quality and i beleive it can be used in every role that the Super Sniper can, and not just primary a "back-up" or .22 trainer.
also good to hear about Weaver's Customer Service

Anybody care to offer a comparison in image quality between the Weaver 3-10 and, say, a Burris FFII or Nikon ProStaff/Buckmaster?

I just put a Weaver Grand Slam Tactical on my .243 coyote rifle and my hunting partner went with the Nikon Coyote Special. The Nikon CS is a buckmaster with the predator reticle and a camo finish. After doing a side by side comparision between the two, the Weaver has clearer glass, hands down. There is some distortion in the Nikon, where it is absent in the Weaver. We were shooting till dusk on Sunday evening and as it got dark, the Weaver left the Nikon in it's dust when it came to lowlight performance. All around I think the Weaver Tactical is a much better optic in the same price range as the Nikon Buckmaster/Coyote Special. You also get the added benefit of having matching reticle and knobs with the Weaver.
I should also add: I was itching to confirm the dope on my new handloads yesterday but couldn't shoot at the house due to workers in the field. After dinner it was dark as could be and I decided to try it in the dark. I propped a small LED flashlight in front of the target and went out to 350 yards. I could not only see my 3x5 card on the target, but I could see the 3/4" black dot I drew on it as well. I shot a three shot group, with the cold bore striking the black dot. The other two rounds were just below it with a 1.36" group, or .390 MOA.
The only complaints I have so far is the reticle is canted about 1 degree from the turrets. The scope tracks great and the knobs feel good. It has rode around in my pickup for two days so far and held a perfect zero. The knobs and reticle match to a "T", and the reticle measures correctly.
