Reviews & Ratings for Weaver Super Slam 1.5-6x24 Matte Ill G4 30mm Rifle Scope — 4 reviews — Page 1

Bought this scope on e-bay, used for about half price. This scope is totally awesome in every way. I have this mounted on a 375 Ruger. Don't think I could've made a better choice. The glass is superb in clarity. I had reservations about the reticle, but after hunting with it for a year, I wouldn't trade it for any reticle for the rifle I have it mounted on. Yes, the scope is a bit heavy, but I see that as a positive rather than a negative. The pop up turret adjustments have made me a believer. The illumination is also nice. No, it won't light up the dot in sunlight, but that's not what the illumination is for, and besides, the dot is big enough, that in sunlight, illumination is completely unnecessary. I will be replacing all my scopes without the same pop-up turrets for scopes that do have this option. I can set up rifle with one load, zero the turrets, and then shoot another load and easily correct and then switch back without having to remember what I did. Will definitely be buying more Weaver super-slam euro scopes.
Pros: Very useable magnification range: Very good Glass
Cons: none

Great scope for the money but it is a heavy scope. I would buy this one again if the need arises.
Pros: Easy to install, easy to adjust,Price
Cons: Heavy

The craftmanship was perfect on this unit. Everything very well made and easy to use. The pull up turrets were nice the clicks were average- a little on the light side for my taste. The GS has a great reticle for short to medium ranges. The dot in the center is large enough at 6x for very quick target aquisition out to 400 and lends itself to hold right side,left side wind hold offs. The space between the crosshairs provides additional calibrated holdoff point, all that are really needed to 400. The dot provides a very good uncluttered aiming point at 6x. At 1.5x the reticle provides fast shooting capabilities at ranges as low as ten yards. The glass is very good quality for the price! I compared it to brands costing more. The eye relief and eye box are just average at 6x. The eye relief and eye box both improved at 4x. If the primary use is at 3-400 this is a consideration. Parallax was noticeable at 400 but the amount simply would not be a issue for the type of shooting the optic was designed for. The illumination is barely noticeable even in overcast conditions. Illumination is usable in dusk conditions but cast a glow on the scope image. The Illumination is not this scopes strong point. This scope provides good value if you are seeking a scope that will be primarily used at ranges 10-200 yards that also has calibrated wind hold off points for a occaisonal shot out to 400.
Pros: Fast reticle WITH hold off capability
Cons: Illumination
