Re: Your thoughts on the Weaver T scope 36x40
A 36X rifle scope with a 40mm objective will not be like looking through a spotting scope. There's a lot of mechanical difference between the two.
That said, Weaver T series are solid light repeatable scopes that are favored by many. I use T24's for silhouette, they are the most reliable that will keep me in the weight restrictions.
The glass is so-so, but for the purpose I use them for repeatability trumps clarity.
