Hey everyone,
Just wanted to clarify what powdr and Judman were talking about. We do offer a very light (9.3oz) 4 power, the FX-II 4x33mm. Part number is 58550. Take a look, it's a long time favorite around here. Whatever you pick, enjoy!

The FX-II 4x33mm is the scope I have settled on. I have hunted for 40 years with a Leupold 4X and never had any complaints. Thanks to you folks for your inputs...blessings.

Harry, that would be correct. Note the M8 28mm may not have quite the same lens coatings as the latest FX-II models. Always had a thing for the Leupold M8’s. IMHO they are classic scopes and look perfect on just about any gun. Much harder to find than they used to be.

The Leupold 4x33 is a good and rugged scope, but the gold standard for reliability is the older M8 4x28 “long tube”. Very flexible in mounting options too. I’ve never seen one fail to hold zero, over about 15 of these dating back to 1974. Another vote for the old M8 long tube, a good view and flexible mounting options especially when using a short stock like a youth model rifle.

I have a Kaps 4x that I have mounted on my CZ 550 .375 H&H. 30 MM tube, low profile turrets and not too big on the objective and ocular bells, positive adjustments, and very clear glass. Wish I had more. Better than the Leupold FX 4 and the Zeiss Diatal C 4x that I have on other rifles.

They are excellent.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Great options already mentioned. I'll throw out NF fixed 4.5x just for variety.
My future hopefully sees a 375 Ruger with this on top.
Let us know what you end up with. Keep us posted on your adventures with this. I've looked at that one for a long time. If I had an illuminated reticle, I'd be all over it. Okie John
