Founded in 1930 by the visionary William R. Weaver, the company is credited with bringing riflescopes to the mainstream. The very first Scope, model 3-30, came complete with a Weaver scope mount. Weaver started the company in Kentucky in 1930 following the completion of a contract with the state of Indiana to produce license plates. He designed and produced the tooling himself and did all the manufacturing on site, including grinding his own lenses and machining the parts. The company was a near instant success that revolutionized the shooting industry by putting magnified optics into the reach of average American hunters. In 1933, he moved the business to El Paso, Texas. By 1940, the company had become the largest producer of riflescopes and mounts in the world. The Weaver story includes many hallmarks. From the part they played in finally making scopes affordable to hunters, to their part in the war effort, to their ingenuity of design and function in shooting optics.
