Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Consensus on the best low power variable compact scope?

Just so happens I recently weighed my Mini after replacing the hinged floorplate with a different one. With a paracord sling and swivels, it came to 6# 11oz, hardly a burden, and balances and handles very nicely.

As JB and others have noted, one reason for building a lightweight rifle is to allow the use of good, reliable optics without the assembled rig getting too heavy. This one is a success in that way, a pleasure to tote around the woods.



Posted this pic before, but it is a good illustration…..and maybe my best dead-dear photo.
