For my money the Weaver Classic series , no they are not as good as the likes of Schmidt / Swaro but you get 98% of the abilty for a small percentage of the cost ,they are as good as leupold / Burris / Meopta and still way cheaper -if you watch some of the American stores you can get them on 'closeout' - bargain basement ,excellent Jap build quality with Jap glass .I have Schmidt and Zeiss scopes and have pretty much owned every other make in the past but i do like / appreciate value for money.
Of course this is only my opinion and i am standing by to be flamed ......
