[QUOTE="Holycity73, post: 1898526, member: 106526"] Overall the weight would be the same, but the balance would come into play. I’d imagine a two pound scope on a six pound rifle would be awkward at best. Until i switched to carbon barrels, my lightest rifle was a fin light in 243. That’s still mated to a Minox ZE5i 2-10x50. Without the scope, the rifle is so balanced. It’s amazing. The moment the scope is on, at far less than two pounds, you can feel the balance shift. It’s all about perspective. If I had a harder recoiling cartridge on that platform, I’d have a brake. [/QUOTE]
