[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1771921, member: 10291"] Owning quality LRH scopes that range from 24oz to 39oz, I have come to realize that the added weight of less then one pound and and 1-2 inches of added length in most LRH applications is more of an illusion as to help or hindrance, then a reality. Generally, the increase in weight is due to more reliable/higher quality components, greater durability, and in the case of dimensions greater range of adjustment and optical quality. These differences become very noticeable as the hours in the field are accumulated, and the relatively small increase in weight and mass go un-noticed. My viewpoint on scope-weight/mass has changed over time, I now find myself using my top tier “light scopes” more for mid range applications. While there are many good choices available, the Nightforce ATAC-R checks all the boxes for an excellent balance of glass quality, mechanical reliability, feature selection, price/value, and top quality service(if ever required). If your shooting is not up to par......there is little to no chance this scope is the culprit......IMO. [/QUOTE]
