Just as the title says I'm building a new rifle and looking for a lighter weight scope, looking for something with great glass under 25oz with atleast 18x magnification, zero stop with moa reticle and turrets. FFP reticle would be a plus!

I've looked about everywhere I can think of and just seeing if someone could throw some new ideas at me

Thanks!
 
I was LITERALLY going to just make this same exact thread. I am all ears.

The lightest one that I have found that fits that bill was the Huskemaw blue diamond. It has MOA windage and LRH has it listed at 23 OZ

Huskemaw is SFP, mark 6 was my first choice tell I seen it was only offered in mil, that scope has everything I want besides that!
 
if you are willing to drop 2x on the top end, the Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 FFP Riflescope is a pretty good deal.
 
For that weight class (26 ounces), I would go with the Bushnell 4.5-18x44 LRHS. The only drawback for me is the capped windage turret.

I looked at one of the scopes mentioned above at SHOT, and wouldn't bother:rolleyes:
 
Haha OK ... I've owned a couple before wasn't impressed on what I got for what they cost, not finding a 4.5-28 lrhs, new scope?

4.5-18 will be out in the next month. I looked through it and played with the turret on it at SHOT. I was impressed! Generally speaking, I don't care for FFP reticles, but the G2M has a circle in the middle of the crosshairs for a center reference when the power is turned down and the reticle gets tiny.
 
anyone ever tried the vortex viper hs-t 4-16X44? It has eerything you are looking for except ffp and is about 1/3rd the cost? 21 oz

the one that goes to 24X is 22.5 oz
