Savage Arms AXIS II XP Stainless 6.5 Creedmoor Black Bolt-Action Rifle 3-9x40mm Riflescope

A: As far as I'm aware weaver scopes it's made by ATK they are separate from Leupold, as far as the range of the scope I think it's pretty much up to the user in but the 3 x 9 x 40 is not bad at all

A: Weaver Kaspa 3-9x40

A: Weaver is not made by Leupold. I have a couple Weaver scopes (pistol scopes), and they are decent. I'm not sure what you consider long range, but my advice is buy it, if the 3-9 is not enough replace it. Then you will have an extra scope laying around that justifies you buying another gun to put it on.

A: Weaver scopes are a cheaper brand. The one on your rifle is closer to the bottom of the quality chain. Not good in low light conditions & not nearly as well constructed as other scopes. I have always been from the school of thought that in a scope you get what you pay for (in this case I understand it came with the gun but Weavers typically are inexpensive). I would replace it or look for the gun without a scope. My humble opinion is that Leupold is the best scope for the money with many options. Their lenses are multi coated and very clear at low light. An added bonus is the very generous eye relief. Also have lifetime warranty. You can get a relatively inexpensive Rifleman model that is way better than Weaver. By the way, Redfield is now made by Leopold. I have advised many friends to buy a Redfield (inexpensive) and you basically get a cheaper priced "Leupold." And they are excellent scopes. Lastly, people will argue for weeks on the proper magnification for long range hunting. 3x9
