Lightest reliable turreted scope

[tracker12]

I’d put money on your setup not being bombproof. You just haven’t tested it. Being successful in killing animals over the years, is not a test.

I have used Leupold products since the early 70's and never had one fail on a hunt (thats 50+ years). That includes high country big game western hunts and many days afield for whitetail, bear and varmints back east. They may not be the best. But they are a good quality product that come in at a nice wight. I am currently using several VX5 HD models and more than happy with the results. Killing game is what it's about and the Leupolds I have used have passed my tests.

I currently have a Swaro X5i. This thing is a tank. Is there a smaller lighter scope with as much reliability in the turret dialing and RTZ?

My swaro scope lost zero last fall from a small trip, i have 2 nightforce scopes and have never lost zero,they have been used hard on backpack trips, they are not light but selling the swaro and sticking with the nightforce thats built like a tank , reliability is much more important than weight IMO
