I just put it on the scale, with the flip caps, it weighs 20 ounces



Confirmed.

Tube (not pictured) was 30.05 mm. Here's the objective, inside + out:

Impressions after having it out of the box for 33 minutes:

1. I wasn't expecting flip-up caps. Nice bonus.
2. It's not as "subjectively" heavy as I was anticipating. It's solid, though.
3. There's significant tunnel vision below about 2.5x
4. The reticle is really nice. Crisp, bold, smallish dot (so nearly as I can tell by looking across the street).
5. Illumination settings seem very useable. #10 setting is easily visible on this overcast day, but it might be drowned out on a very bright day. #1 seems faint enough to work well in fading light.
6. Tube length may present mounting challenges. I won't know for sure 'til I can play with it a bit on a rifle.
7. Eye relief is more than adequate, but not quite, "generous"
8. Power ring is stiff, but smooth

I can't comment on glass/view quality since I've not had it outside, & the light's crappy today, anyway. I'll post more on that once I get some experience with it.
