[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 2174803, member: 117774"] I have replaced the 1" Zeiss on my Custom 300 WSM with a Leupold 5HD 3-15 30MM and for the money, it is superb. I used Talley rings to save a few ounces and total weight of this rifle loaded with sling is 8 lbs. Not a lightweight, but not extremely heavy either. When available, i am going to pick up a Kimber hunter Pro in 280 AI and have a 4 1/2 X 14 Leupold 30 MM tube to mount on it, again with Talley rings. The gun outfitted should weight about 7 lbs or a little more. This is about the lightest rifle I am able to shoot well in the field. I have a couple of ultra light rifles that are easy to carry but I really have to make sure of the rest and hold and shooting techniques before pulling the trigger. The benefit of the 30 MM tubes helps compensate for my old eyes and I find I can pick up a clear sight picture a little faster with them. Good luck with your hunt and I hope you are successful.
