I have a lightweight Remington 260....I have a
NF 2.5-10x32 mil dot scope that weighs 7.4 lbs with a bipod and sling....I can use the hold overs and consistently hit out to 550 without twisting a dial....

It's all in what YOU want....I'd rather have great glass that'll hold up no matter what....


In my book, a lightweight is sub 7lbs all-up (scope, sling, rounds).

A midweight is between 7-8 lbs all-up.

Etc...
