[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1695545, member: 2736"] If you don't intend/expect to make shots over 600 yards, and want to save weight stay with the lower power (12 to 15) and look for scopes with smaller objective lens (40mm or less) to save weight and still gather enough light. Big glass add lots of weight and is not necessary for what you want. An 8 power scope enlarges what you see by 7 times over the naked eye, and many shots over 1000 yards are made with iron sites. Buy a good brand scope in a lower power and with smaller glass and it will more than do the job and be much more portable and durable. Just a recommendation for what will fill your needs.
