[QUOTE="Crockett12, post: 2890198, member: 35100"] As you get older, everything gets heavier! Every ounce adds up to pounds and Leupold scopes are the lightest out there. Depending on your age, you might consider a lighter scope than the new 30mm scopes. -- Also, you mentioned you probably wouldn't shoot past 600 yards! Believe me, you'd better shoot at targets at that range before you ever gut shoot an animal because you didn't shoot at that range before the hunt! Just because a load or bullet is accurate at 100 yeards doesn't mean it's still stable at 300 yards much less than at 400 or 600! Often your accurate 100 yard load that's giving you 1 minute of angle that you expect to be a 6 inch group at 600 yards will instead be 15/20 inches at 600 yards instead! [/QUOTE]
