The Weaver Classic Extreme Rifle Scope in 1.5-4.5x24mm is a low-magnification optic built for dangerous-game rifles, brush guns, and any platform where fast target acquisition matters more than long-range reach. The 1.5x low end gives a wide field of view for moving targets up close, while the 4.5x top end stretches into mid-range work. With 4 inches of eye relief, this scope keeps the ocular bell off your brow under heavy recoil — the kind of recoil that comes from large-bore cartridges. Hunters running magnum-class rifles and shooters who need quick, both-eyes-open sighting are the buyers Weaver designed this scope around.
This scope is built on a single-piece 30mm main tube, which gives more room for internal adjustment travel and a stronger housing than the 1-inch tubes common in this magnification range. The optics are fully multi-coated for maximum light transmission and clean contrast across changing light conditions. The reticle is an illuminated German #4, a heavy-post design that draws the eye to center fast in low light or against busy backgrounds. Free-wheel resettable windage and elevation dials let you zero and then return turrets to zero without tools, and the fast-focus eyepiece sharpens the reticle quickly. Nitrogen purging seals the tube against fogging, and the housing is rated waterproof, all backed by a limited factory warranty per Weaver specifications. The matte finish cuts glare in the field.
Mount this scope on a .375 H&H, a .45-70 lever gun, or a fast-handling bolt rifle for timber and close-cover hunts where shots come quick and at unpredictable angles. The illuminated German #4 reticle earns its keep at dawn and dusk when standard duplex crosshairs disappear against shadow. If you want more reach on the same rifle, the larger 2.5-10x50mm Classic Extreme covers longer distances. Browse the rest of our optics selection and pair your setup with the right slings and swivels and ammunition for your caliber.
This scope provides 4 inches of eye relief. That generous distance is meant to keep the ocular bell clear of your brow on hard-kicking, large-caliber rifles, which is why Weaver built this magnification range for dangerous-game and magnum platforms.
The Classic Extreme 1.5-4.5x24mm is built on a single-piece 30mm main tube. You will need 30mm rings to mount it. The larger tube allows more internal adjustment range and a stronger housing than the 1-inch tubes typical in this class.
Yes. This model uses an illuminated German #4 reticle, a heavy-post design that pulls the eye to center quickly. The illumination helps in low light at dawn and dusk and against dark or cluttered backgrounds where a standard reticle can wash out.
It is. The tube is nitrogen purged and rated waterproof and fogproof, so internal fogging from temperature swings is not a concern. Weaver backs the scope with a limited factory warranty per manufacturer specifications.
The 1.5-4.5x range favors close to mid-range work — brush guns, lever actions, and dangerous-game rifles where fast acquisition beats long-range magnification. For longer distances on the same family, the 2.5-10x50mm Classic Extreme is the better fit.
