Who makes a 4X scope that is lightweight and reasonably priced? Doesn't matter if it is matte or shiney blued.

Light weight and reasonably priced...
Weaver K4 849415 4 x 38 comes in at around 9.8oz and can be had pretty fairly priced.

Leupold FX-II. 9.3oz and $299 for a new one. If you are ok with gloss you can get the standard duplex.

Paid $100 for a Nikon 4x32 in Realtree. Stuck if on a Handi-Rifle because I wanted to keep things light. I think they are discontinued but a shop here still had a couple.

Leupold, of course.

If you have a short action Remington, then a new Weaver will fit great; on other actions not so much.

+1 I always keep a spare, just damn good glass and can usually be found for under $150 shipped. Bought one from Amazon couple of weeks ago for a touch over $120 with free shipping.

If you don't mind used, a Leupold M8 is a good choice.

New or used leupold M8 would be my first choice. An old steel tube weaver k4 costs less and works quite well too.

add me to the list recommending this ^^^

I currently have a Nikon Buckmasters 4 x40. If I read here correctly I believe this is one of the more heavier 4x scopes!
