German Precision Optics might be worth a look. Their Passion 3X line has attractive weights. I can't speak to the newer versions with the 42mm objective, but the 4-12x40 I have has Meopro level glass (to my eyes) and has performed well. It was made in Japan if that matters to you, but I'm not sure about the newer ones. Doug would be your huckleberry on 'em.

Passion 4-12x42 is 13.8 oz. https://gpo-usa.com/product/passion-4-12x42-with-5-custom-turrets-reticle-plex/
