I had one that I sold with a rifle a last summer(2.5-10x50 #4 ). They are great scopes. Very good glass and great low light performance. I would put them right with my Conquests or 4200s for my style of hunting. The eye relief is great. I bought mine for less than $300 and it's the best scope I have ever had for that kind of cash.
The only negatives I had with it which are small............it was pretty heavy,bulky, and the finish is very easy to scratch/blemish up.
My buddy bought one at the same time in the 2.5-10x56 and I did some testing in low light and found it equal to the 50mm. He put his on a Remington 700 .243 with a short barrel. I would not have done that myself due to the size and weight but he loves it.

I have a 2.5-10x50 #4 reticle. Nice clarity and good low light performance. It was a closeout a few years back for under $300. I noticed that a new set of Weaver CE scopes are being sold at closeout. I can't decide which 6-24x50 or 8-32x50.

If you are looking a competitor, some of those are closeouts and some are signature scopes for the company alone, that Weaver does not even have all the specs for.
