[QUOTE="ChrisAtl, post: 969674, member: 52874"] NF website states the following specs: The SHV non illuminated is 26.9 oz The similar NXS is listed at 32 oz The Compact comes in either 42 or 32 obj diameter at 20.5 or 19 oz respectively. Sheep hunters and the ultralight crowd count ounces and it matters to them. They cut the handles off their toothbrushes and all kinds of stuff to get weight down. A lot of them run the really light Leupold scopes and a favorite is the VX2 Ultralight 3-9x33 with a CDS turret (I do not know how accurate the clicks are compared to a NF. I have my doubts). That little scope only weighs 9.8oz!!! Much less than any of the NF scopes but I think you would sacrifice a ton of durability and accuracy of the clicks. I would rather man up and bring the NF up the mountain and have all the confidence in the world when the trigger breaks. [/QUOTE]
