Weaver Background
William Ralph Weaver started the W.R. Weaver Company in Newport, Kentucky in 1930. His goal was to create outstanding scopes and other optical products at affordable prices, using entirely American parts. After building his first scope by hand, he soon found himself moving to El Paso, Texas to create American made riflescopes. By the 1960, he employed 600 workers and was well known for the quality of his scopes.
The Weaver Variety
Eventually, Weaver had to sell off his company and it has changed hands a number of times since then. Today, Weaver scopes are carried by Meade Instruments. Meade is determined to carry on Weaver's goal of creating high quality, low priced scopes to meet the needs of the modern hunter and competitive shooter.
