[QUOTE="blackdog, post: 508956, member: 30105"] I've owned one of the bigger 20-50x60 type scopes and found that the extra weight had me leaving it in the truck more often than not. So I would like to find a nice compromise between the low magnification 'compact' type spotters and the standard, bigger/heavier models. I've strongly considered the Nikon Fieldscope ED 15-30x50, weighing in at just under 20 oz (which would be a great packable scope) but I'm afraid I'd be disappointed in only reaching 30x zoom. The Leupold GR 12-40x60 looks like it would be a good option but it weighs in at 37oz. So my question, what options are out there in something like a 15-45 or 20-50 x 50 or 60 that keeps the weight in the 30oz range? Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
