Title is pretty self explanatory. Is there a FFP mil/mil scope 16 oz or less that passes the drop test? If not I will stick with SWAFA 3-9 but wanted to double check if there are any other options to look at. If its not 16oz or better the juice is not worth the squeeze to try. Would be ok with either variable or fixed if it was close to fixed 6.
 
3-9 Huron passed (16oz). Id say a 3-9 accupoint would be a safe bet too (13oz)
Swfa ultralite seemed okish in the drop eval (9oz)

You lose the dialability and FFP compared to the swfa 3-9 though. And the swfa ultralite doesnt sound that appealing glass-wise.

I was happy with the Huron's quality on my old man's rifle for a no frills 1" tubed sfp
 
Doesn't answer your question but I just had a scope lose zero during hunting season. That scope is gone. I took the weight penalty and went with a scope known to hold zero (NF). I don't want to experience another failed scope during hunting season. None are guaranteed but some are less likely.

Huron would be cool but its sfp, I do most of my shooting backed off from max. SWFA UL might work but its only in MOA.

If I was less set on FFP and Mil/Mil it would be easy to find.

Yea that is my top priority and the SWFA 3-9 is fine. Just seeing if there are other options a touch lighter. I dont think there are though.
