What do you call lightweight? For me, I would say less than 12oz. You're on your own then. IMO, that's simply unrealistic if you value reliability. A Trijicon Accupoint will be the closest you'll get that's still a good scope. That's what I'm seeing.... I'll just stick with the 6x36 leupold.... it holds zero just fine. Just wanted a touch more mag for shooting ground squirrels at farther ranges.... not that important to mess up a lightweight rifle for me.... like I said, I have plenty of midweight and heavy guns that can do that job.... always looking for the "do it all" setup lol.

Have the Leupold in 2x7 that is 9.9 oz I believe and I and it perfect for squirrel hunting and deer out to whatever I am shooting….you said less than 12 ozs and I don’t know of any less than that. Solid for a $200 or so scope. Have 2 of them and never any problem of holding zero and good glass.
