Weaver offers models in 6X, 10X, 24X, and 36X magnifications. I chose to review a T-24 because I thought it would best serve the needs of the widest range of users. It arrived in a very large box and came with aluminum thread-on lens caps, a four-inch-long sunshade, and an extra pair of oversized benchrest turrets. Its suggested retail price is $637.99.

Developed for competitive shooters and varmint hunters, Weaver's T-Series has earned an enviable reputation. The T-24 evaluated for this report came with thread-on lens caps, four-inch sunshade, and oversize benchrest turrets.

Removing the scope from its foam cushion, I found it quite pleasing to the eye. Built on a one-inch tube, this model is 15.3 inches long and weighs a fairly light 16 ounces. An adjustable objective allows parallax to be dialed out from approximately 30 feet to infinity. This allows the T-24 to be used either on an indoor range or at extended distances outdoors. The objective is marked in both meters and feet/yards, rotates smoothly, and easily locks into place by a threaded locking collar. While side parallax knobs are currently in vogue, an adjustable objective offers both more precise adjustments and increased durability.

The T-24 is available with either 1/8 or 1/4 MOA adjustments. The review model had 1/4 MOA adjustments. Tall, easy-to-read target turrets are fitted. These capped multirotation turrets provide 18 MOA of adjustment per rotation, with 60 MOA of travel available. Full rotations are easily kept track of, and it's a simple matter to reset the turrets after the rifle is zeroed. Clicks are very distinct, both audibly and tactilely. Two reticles are available: a fine crosshair with either a 1/8- or 1/2-MOA dot. I chose the 1/2-MOA dot.

Optically, this model features 3.0 inches of eye relief. As to be expected with this much magnification, the exit pupil is small-- 1.6mm--so placement of the shooter's head is critical. FOV is 4.4 feet at 100 yards. Putting it to work I noted that color rendition and resolution were very good. However, I did experience a problem with internal flare under certain lighting conditions. In this regard the T-24 took a backseat in performance to the Grand Slam. All in all, though, I was pleased with the T-24's optical performance.

The Weaver T-24 performed well when mounted onto a heavy barrel Savage .223 varmint rifle. Parallax was easily dialed out, the scope zeroed without incident, and adjustments proved to be accurate and repeatable throughout testing. I box tested the scope at various points in its adjustment range without problem.

My only negative comment concerns the previously mentioned problem with internal flare. The scope is designed to accept thread-on sunshades that are intended to eliminate, or reduce, this problem. Other than that, the T-24 performed well, and its Micro-Trac adjustment system lived up to its reputation when put to the test.

I like the T-Series. Its Micro-Trac system does give it an advantage over its competition. I look forward to testing other models in this famous line.
