I have been looking at the Weaver V-16, 4-16x42, it will be used on two rifles. The first rifle is a Ruger M77 MK II standard in 204 Ruger. The second a Ruger Hawkeye Predator in 223. I have owned leupolds, Nikons, Burris and Bushnell. Looking through these scopes I am amazed at the clarity and brightness. The quality seems very good for the price. I am wondering if anyone here has had experience with them over the long haul.
