What happen to this scope? Was there problems with them or did they just not sell well. I don't see them listed anywhere. Any info would be nice.
Thanks

They were all recalled and bought back. No word if they ever will return to the marketplace.

Anyone know why they were recalled. There is one listed here for sale. I checked Midway and they have them instock with the crosshair for $849

They had oil inside that got on the lens, I wish they would fix what ever was wrong and re-release them.

Did you use them before if so what did you think of them?

I didn't think they were being sold anymore, I didn't have one but they looked like a great scope.

No they were not all recalled, some not all had lense issues, oil? maybe but more likely mold. Good Luck.

I owned one of these 46X scopes for over a year and returned it for a full refund, including shipping. Used the funds and purchased a used 45 comp. Leupy from Benchrest Central for $900.00 shipped. This Leupy looks and functions as new.

Weaver optics were very clear even with my, then, cataract. Always kept the scope stored, mounted, in a horizontal position. Then I read articles that scopes stored in a vertical position developed oil spots. So, I tested mine. Raised the gun in a vertical position and bumped the butt on a padded surface. Oil spots showed up. Called Weaver and was told to return it for a full refund and in 10 days received a check. The Weaver tech said this problem was a design flaw in this model and he did not know when/if this would be corrected.

Very happy with Weaver service.
