[QUOTE="blvette75, post: 2916839, member: 72440"] Welcome to the forum, The CA rifle and Caliber 7mm PRC are a good choice if you are looking at a light weight scope. I know the reticles are complex(You can always just use the cross hairs initially) You can go with a Leupold MKV 3.6 x 18 I got an MOA reticle FFP, you may want to look at the illuminated version. Or another choice that is a light weight option is the Vortex Razor HD LHT 4.5-22x50mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, First Focal Plane Red XLR-2 MOA Reticle, MOA Adjustment. You don't say how far you want to shoot, but either of these scopes are light weight very good glass and can easily allow you to shoot 1000 yards. I would also invest in a good range finder that detects the wind, and a kestrel so you can load your data and determine your drops at distance. The reason I recommend a FFP is regardless of the magnification the drops remain consistent regardless of what magnification you are using. The reason I recommend the MOA reticle as the lines in the reticle are about 1/4-1 inch (1MOA =1.047 inches I round to an inch) increments at 100 yards as are the clicks on the elevations and windage adjustments are 1/4 of an 1 inch at 100 yards. Less math for me to do in my head than a milrad.
