[QUOTE="JungleShooter, post: 2882315, member: 110729"] You're asking for ▪ "at least 20x" and ▪ "no tight eyebox" — which depends to a large part on a large objective lens ("large for magnification") — which is diametrically opposed to another requirement: ▪ "25oz" light Just sayin'.... 😄 Hete are some models that fulfill some of your requirements, whereas I can't say much about some of your other requirements — I have not looked through them or tested them: [B]🔶 Hawke: Frontier 30 FFP series[/B] [No. 18540] [B]5-25x56 FFP[/B] Reticle: Mil Pro 25x, gridded, no thick outside posts $1050 This is Hawke's top line, with new turrets, I would expect reasonable precision. Weight: 24.8oz Locking Turrets | 0-Stop | 8mil/turn Eyebox: Since it has a 56mm objective, the exit pupil is 11-2.2mm, so based on that at 20x you should have a fairly generous eye box 🔶[B] Hawke: Frontier 30 FFP series [/B][No. 18530] [B]4-20x50 FFP[/B] Reticle: Mil Pro 20x $1050 Weight: 22.2 Other specs are the same as the 6-24x56 above. [B]🔶 Trijicon: Tenmile[/B] series [B]4-24x50 SFP[/B] Reticle: MIL Red Dot [No. TM42450-C-3000007] | or MIL Green Dot [No. TM42450-C-3000008] | Calibrated at 24x $1890 Weight: 25.7oz 0-Stop; Turn Counter; Capped Windage Turret [B]🔶 Maven: RS.5 4-24x50 SFP[/B] Reticle: SHR-MIL Ret. $1400 Weight: 25.5oz 0-Stop; Windage capped I understand your quest for the ideal scope quite well. It has kept me up late at night. Oh, look, it's already 0:30 on my side of the globe..... 🤦🏻♂️ Cheers, 😊 Matthias [/QUOTE]
