Fastback65,
Lately I have been using a Kimber 84M that weighs 4 lb 15 oz without rings, mounts and scope. It has a Nikon Monarch 3 5-20X44. This scope weight 19 oz. and delights me.
When I started on this Weatherby rifle I decided the maximum weight of a scope at 18 oz. Once the scope at that weight failed to return to zero I changed and wanted a scope with good glass and very good in low light. I settled on one that weighs 22.2 oz. It is a Bushnell 6500 4 1/2-30X50. Now the rifle weighs seven pounds ready to go and the Kimber is back with its owner.
