I need a light weight optic with a adjustable objective/parallax. Whatever the lightest weight scope with A/O doesn’t matter power range. Any suggestions?

I think what he is asking is whether or not you want Adjustable Objective (i.e. the objective bell is spun to remove parallax) or would you be ok with a side adjustable parallax option (i.e. the parallax adjustment is a knob on the left side of the scope tube).

Either is fine. Just need a durable lightweight scope.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Leupold doesn’t have their light weight line anymore.

Burris FF E1 4.5-14. Side focus. 15.3oz. About $170 here and there, now and then. Mine’s been on a number of rifles without issue.
Reticle’s not my favorite and it has a limited adjustment range typical of 1” scopes, but it works. Probably some .22 scopes out there that would work too.
I have a very light Burris 6x I snagged here on my Hornet, but you can’t have it.
What fresh Hell is this?

Either is fine. Just need a durable lightweight scope. How durable? How lightweight? IME, for the most part these two properties have some inverse correlation. It's a trade-off. SWFA Fixed and some HD models, the smaller March scopes, some NF SHV and NXS Compact models, etc., are durable and fairly lightweight, and have adjustable parallax correction.

I've been impressed with both the VX-Freedom EFR A.O. 3-9x33 I've been working with. At 12 oz, you'll not find anything current production that's any lighter. People can hammer Leupold all they want (some well deserved) but I believe their new stuff is getting better. Ducking the bricks, now......  Good shootin' -Al

I have a 6x Burris that has adjustable objective and target turrets but it’s silver and has a fine dot reticle. Not sure if those are deal breakers or not? Weighs 13.9 ounces on my scale

That Burris is lightweight. The Leupold even more.

Burris FF2 4.5x14-42 AO : AmazonI like the reticle better in the FFII, but the zoom and side focus better on the E1. Not to mention, $20 is $20.

If you can find an old Leupold Vari X-III 4.5-14 AO, they are both lightweight and rugged. I've seen a few of them for sale lately, but they are not cheap. There is one on now on eBay for $650!
