Originally Posted by Dogger Would you ever consider putting a heavy 10X fixed 30mm scope on a relatively lightweight very flat-shooting rifle? (a 6.5 lb 257 Weatherby minus ammo, sling, rings, scope)... it sort of defeats the purpose of "lightweight"... makes the rifle top heavy... etc but... I do it because I like the capabilities of the heavier scopes I use. Right now on my 3 lightweight hunting rifles I have Bushnell LRHS 3-12x43mm scopes mounted. All three come in at the same total weight of 7lbs. It’s not as light as could be but 7lbs is light enough for packing and I have great ability in the package for backpack hunting and fun at the range.
