Not extremely heavy,but I would like to use a NF NXS 2.5-10X42 on my next rifle. Just asking because I have a couple rifles,one Sako and a Forbes that will hit a turret with empties and sometimes bounce them back in the ejection port. They both work fine with low profile capped turrets but wouldn't with the NXS.
