Q&A for Minox ZP5 5-25x56mm THLR scope

I think I am the black sheep here... ordered the standard MR4 reticle. Likely will be primarily a competition scope. Really wanted to try the THLR but can't convince myself I need a 36 oz hunting scope just yet!

This thing just keeps getting heavier. Listed at 34oz, now I've seen 35oz, and now 36oz......do I hear 40? The question is......why does the THLR reticle scope weigh almost 5oz more than the MR4 reticle scope (835 grams, which equals ~29.45oz)?

Ya, it's a heavy scope. But I'm already using a 30oz scope so what's a few more ounces.

I was confused on the weight as well... everywhere I look seems to say 34-36 oz but the listing said the 835 grams which translates to 29 oz.
