What in the world do you want to carry a scope around for? I walk too much to go adding weight.
My 80 year old eyes need more help than my 80 year old feet. I can carry a 6.5 oz. scope. Though it may be a burden for you it's OK for me. YMMV Jim
I would rather not have to carry that extra weight also but like mentioned that little bead just got too hard to find with my older eyes and mine are only 52.
