[QUOTE="Westo5, post: 1275736, member: 99244"] I already have a never mounted/BNIB PST 4-16x50 FFP,EBR1 MRAD that I bought for another project and never used.Its 23 ounces,so should help add a bit of heft and get me up around that 8lb mark all in? I'm just not certain if I want a turret style scope on what will essentially be an all around hunting rig with typical shots from well under 100y in the bush to potential shots at elk/deer/sheep out to 700ish(?) vs a dedicated LRP rifle?Im kinda thinking of going to a more simplified optic with a BDC to get me to 5-600y(?) calibrated at the highest magnification.....then backing off on the mag a bit to predetermine drop values at lower settings. ie;I'm kinda looking at something like a Vortex HS 2.5-10x with BDC,which I think should get me to 600ish(?)......then back off to maybe 6x or so(?) and see where that lands me using the BD. in 2fp??
