Weaver V16 4-16 Scope

[Brad.Johnson]

I recently bought a used CZ457 and it came with a Weaver V16 4-16 fine reticle, dot scope made in Japan. In am not familiar with this and it seems discontinued and not east to find much data about. Optics Plant shows a description of 42mm, Fine Crosshair w/ 1/4 MOA Dot, 25 moa turrets, 28 oz.

I haven’t had time to test out the rifle yet, but this seems like a pretty good scope.

Thought on quality, value, market for this.

Any data would be appreciated.

Thanks

Brad

Great scopes, great value on the used market too. I bought my first 30+ years ago based on price and it had a dot reticle. Put it on a Ruger HVT in 223 and it killed tens of 1000's of prairie dogs over the years. It is my go to scope for rimfire rifles to this day and I have a couple I've picked up I haven't mounted yet.

$250-325 when in good shape.

+1, everything said above, a very reliable scope.

Thanks, I’ll test it out. I was going to put a 5-25 that I have on the CZ but it sounds like this may be useable.

Any of the Weaver Japan mfg scopes were a bargain

Had a couple their tactical 4-14s that were great

But were FFP reticles

I have a bunch of the V16s. Never had an issue with them

Solid as a rock. Wish I had a truckload of Japanese Weavers.
