[QUOTE="bwaites, post: 161198, member: 8733"] "Thus my step up to the IOR 3-18x42mm. I freakin love this scope, the optics, reticle, repeatability; except the advertised weight is 22 oz and the actual weight is 29. The weight brought my rifles weight upto 8lb 3 oz. Thus my reason to sell the IOR." HUH? Are you kidding me? You love the scope, but are worried about 7 ounces of extra weight? 7 ounces? That's the difference in half a pint of water! 7 ounces? That's a candy bar and a half! IF you truly love the scope, 7 ounces is NOT enough to make me get rid of it! I LOVE my Nikon tactical, I understand others haven't been as happy with theirs as I am with mine, but I wouldn't let it go if it weighed even a whole pound more than it does! 7 ounces just isn't enough to cause me to let go of a scope that I love! On top of that, 7 ounces CAN make a HUGE difference in the way your rifle shoots. I hadn't realized this until somoene pointed out how much nicer is is to shoot a rifle with a scope vs. open sites. Try it, and watch how much sooner you decide to quit shooting without that nice inertial mass of scope sitting there to help dampen the recoil! 7 ounces just doesn't seem like it is enough reason to give up a scope you really like!!
