[QUOTE="Aoudad shooter1975, post: 2152236, member: 102560"] My mountain rifle I wanted to keep it as light as possible--it wears a Swarovski Z5 3.5x18. I have it set up with a Outdoorsman turret. I get ~530 yards out of it before it runs out of travel on my 7 SAUM load..farther than I think I will need for a 7lb mountain rifle, but doesn't meet what you are looking for. I was a big fan of the Bushnell LRHS line--at 25 oz they were almost perfect 4.5x18 capped windage near perfect, glass was not the best--but sure good enough--they are getting a bit hard to find as most were closed out by 2018.I have a Leupold Mark5 3.5x18--awesome scope...I hate the tube diameter. They should have stuck with the 34mminstead of 35mm sure limits your options, but has tracked true and glass quality to my eye is very good. The weight is good too. The LHT 3x15 Vortex might not be a bad option..I'd like to shoot behind one a little--I have never been a fan of vortex glass-although one AMG I shot behind I liked. The weight is good on the LHT and it is pretty compact for a hunting scope. March is top tier--that is a option--I don't have much experience with them.
