Unicorn rifle scope - it can’t be just me…

Out of interest, what does the SWFA 6x weigh? I don't think it's listed on their website.

Mine weighs 20oz on the dot iirc

S2h scope is so heavy zerotech don't even publish the weight on their website.... but about 26 oz (750gm) - unfortunately misses the mark widely on making a LW FFP scope and falls pretty square in the bracket of existing over weight products

That's in line with most FFP scopes of that mag range and reliability - the three most relevant comparison scopes would be the LRHS/LRTS 4-16, Maven RS1.2, and Trijicon Tenmile 3-18.

March F 3-24x42 is 20.8 oz (590 gm) for FFP, 30mm, very robust & reliable so it is possible to do

Do you have a link to some testing of the March that shows it to be 'very robust and reliable'? I'm sure many of us would be interested in seeing that.

This is close to a Unicorn scope with the mildot reticle.
19 oz and as durable as anything made.
Of course NF dropped it.

591.5 grams (20.9 oz) for my MQ Gen2 (with large elevation turret and capped windage).

Factory page says 21.3 oz.

On paper I think the vx3hd 4.5-14 x40 is the perfect scope. If it was reliable and the cds dial was in mils it would be the best and lightest. But alas....

It sure was, up until it wouldn’t track correctly.

yes, as i said, it is in line with existing options

I don't believe in throwing scopes on the ground, but in several years of actual hard use in competition/work/recreational hunting I have documented no POI shifts with regular zero checks across 3 different March F scopes, some of these I have posted in this thread.

Thread 'Scope Zero Check Thread'

Dec 13, 2024

I got to thinking that a thread for posting zero checks would be awesome. It could end up being a great collection of data/information.

I'm thinking everyone posts a target whenever they check zero along with notes about shooting conditions and what the rifle has been through since the last zero check. I'm betting we could all learn a lot if we get this going.
