What's the difference between a weaver 330 or 440

[rweldon]

Is there a difference between the weaver 330 and 440. Is it magnification?

Besides the obvious difference in markings I believe the biggest difference is the magnification. The 440 is a 3.5X (some say 4X) and the 330 is a 2.5X. The 330C (M73B1) was used on the M1903a4, I have never seen any documentation to show the 440 being used by the military.

I was looking at the 440 due to it being higher magnification for my new Creedmoor 03A4 I'm waiting on. I don't know how well I'll due with 2.5x with my eyes.

if your intent is to shoot cmp vintage sniper events, you will, most likely, be classified "out of competition" and results will not be counted. shooting for fun only, not for awards.

In that case, get some Redfield/Leupold 1" rings and mount a Weaver K4, or K4M60B if you can find one of those.
