Meopta makes a 6x, I've read good things about them. I doubt they are as lite as the Leupold. A 6x scope just makes sense to me in a hunting situation unless you are in the woods.
The Meopta is about 50% heavier than the Leupold and a lot bigger physically. I bought a new one earlier this year to try and it has been about the worst scope to sight in ever. POI not changing after adjusting dials then jumping too far. I ended up taking it off my 6.5CM and putting on a 6x38 Weaver.
I like the 6x36 Leupold too. I have them on my 7x57, 7x64 and .257 AI and bought another one a few months ago. My 6.5x57 is just about finished and I have a new 3-9x36 Swarovski to go on it but the 6x36 Loopy sort of seems more appropriate for the old cartridge.
