Are they really that heavy? They are heavy. I'm only buying for a Rem 308 20" 5R and a tactical 20" 223AI to shoot mid-range mostly....both suppressed. Not sure I'd put it on a LW hunting rifle. I think there's better and lighter 30mm scopes for that application. Sent from my Dingleberry Handheld Wireless

No.....not too heavy for a 7.5 lb rifle. I'd rather have an 18-20 oz'er (i.e.: SWFA 3-9x42 or Nightforce 2.5-10x32 or 42) on a sub 6-lb rifle myself. But your mileage may vary....like Huntsman22.

A mountain or backpack hunter can tell the difference. Fantastic scopes though!

The 3-12x is very easy to get behind, IME. The DMRII is a step in the wrong direction, if you ask me.
