[QUOTE="Tangent, post: 1690056, member: 110477"] Lots of opinions here, but I think rifle weight is generally overblown by most (not all) hunters. I was born & raised ‘out west’ and backpack hunt every year. I hike 3 to 15 miles any day I get out, and an 11 pound gun has never limited me (and I’m not in the same shape I was on my 20’s) I also shoot my rifles about once a week past 1,000 yards all summer, so I prefer an optic that can accommodate both hobbies. I’m in the process of having a Ti/Ca build put together so I can have a ~1 pound TBAC can, bipod, ~30 oz optic, and still be in the 10-11 pound mark. To me, most important features are probably reliability & field of view. I prefer FFP, capped windage, and exposed locking elevation (zero stop as a minimum). Like most here, I’m still searching for the perfect optic...let us know when you find it ;) [/QUOTE]
