My immediate thought to the the thread was a Leupy 2.5-8.
Then I read the OP.
What is the rifle, scope weight limit?
You would not go wrong with the 3-10 SHV, 22.9 oz. I have one on my 22-250 and really like it. Going to get another for my 222. Scope has bounced between the two depending on my mood.
Trijicon Ascent 3-12, 17.8 oz
Trijicon Credo Hx 2.5-15x42, 22.9 oz.
Would be others I would look at.
