LIGHTEST FFP Scope

[Sand Man]

I didn't know Swaro made a FFP scope.

The Vortex LHT is a nice scope for the price, but the 3-15 is a SFP. Can't wait to see what the new FFP specs out as, and if they are as nice as the 3-15. I actually wish they just went FFP with the 3-15 though.

For me, I will take top quality over saving 6-8oz in a scope. My choice for a lightweight FFP is Tangent Theta TT315M (or TT315H). The issue is they are still 27oz.

Swaro doesn't make a FFP to my knowledge.

I ran a Vortex LHT last weekend in the 3-15. It's a really nice scope and the glass can't be beat for the money, but like you I don't understand them not coming out with a FFP. Not a fan of there MIL reticle either.

Looks like we are sticking with the March on this build.

I have a Z5 on my 7 SAUM sheep rifle—it dials to 545 with ease it is around 17oz. 3x18 magnification…but is SFP…and yeah Swarovski does not to my knowledge make a FFP…I really like this option:

RS.1 - 2.5-15x44 FFP

Buy Maven Outdoor Equipment Company RS.1 Riflescopes. Our RS Series Riflescopes stack up with the most celebrated and expensive scopes in the world…bar none.

24 oz and pretty good glass—a lot like my old 3x12 LRHS…also 3x15 TT is the cream…good stuff—I've never had the scratch at the time to cough up 4K—but would if I could…

Exactly. That was my "polite" way of saying the Swaro suggestion didn't meet the FFP criteria.

This is a pretty hard ask.
Dial/turrets+lightweight+FFP = Not reliable. If set it an forget it, I think you can get away with it, but I have not found reliability dialing and lightweight in the same category.

Granted, I have not stroked "all" scopes, but anything moving needs to be beefy/rugged and that usually doesn't compute to lightweight.

Interested to see what folks come up with.

FYI they make a FFP now.

I'd go with a march or the new LHT 4.4-22. I have the 3-15 and 4.4-22 LHT and they are both great scopes. the 4.4 is very light for it's features and has great glass. It's not SB glass, but for what you're after. it's very hard to beat.

I havent seen a 3-15 lht in ffp, am I missing something?

I did just remember that Vortex just recently announced a new scope series the Razor HD LHT. The 3-15x42 is listed as 19.1oz, but I have bit looked through one yet so I cannot attest to its glass quality.

I own a Razor HD LHT 3-15X42. The glass very good, on par with Leupold...

It's SFP, only the new 4.5 - 22 is FFP

Besides, they have already picked up a March for this build.

That's what I had thought. Earlier someone said the smaller scope was made in ffp too, but haven't seen one
