Why does my long range rifle have to weight 12lbs +?

[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 576061, member: 3733"] Who said anything about fixed power? If you carry a 60x spotter what do you need a 22x scope for. If you can't effectivly use 14X for a 800 yard shot you have eye issues. I've recorded 900+ yard hits with 14x on targets smaller than coyotes. I've used 9x on a 8lb 7wsm and shot with 1/2 moa accuracy on rocks way farther than I would shoot at deer. the 2x10x32 NXS is 11oz lighter than a 3x15 or 5x22 NXS A 1" leupold vx-3 4x14 or 6x20 is 13oz lighter swaro has a 30mm tube z-6 3x18 that is 8oz lighter. Why would someone complaining about rifle weight, use a 2lb scope? But then what do I know, you obviously missed the whole point of my post #18 about lighter rifles. [/QUOTE]
