I am only interested in the Swfa scopes.
Which is why I worded the post as I did.

I already have a Leupold Variable on the rifle(Leupold VX-1 3-9x40 which weighs less than 12 ounces )
The scope you mentioned weighs 14 ounces according to the website and has a small exit pupil.
I am not interested in this scope or any Variable that Leupold makes .

I am looking for the toughness of the SWFA scope and the windshield and ability to dial.

The rifle weighs less than 7 pounds scoped and loaded so the extra weight is not a huge issue.
