[QUOTE="elkslayer44, post: 2228322, member: 49719"] Well, I’m a little late here but I think one of the best lightweight scopes ever made for hunting was the Greybull Precision. They’re out of production now but they had a nice CDS elevation turret (which you could get for your caliber and bullet), and the first gen Greybull scopes had the range finder ladder for quick shots out to ? 600 yds? I know Greybull used a Leupold scope as it’s base, and did 1/3 instead of 1/4 MOA turns, which some thought was a waste, but it was needed for quickly dialing in. I know a guide who told me his 7mm Rem Mag with a Greybull scope accounted for many dead bulls. He’d offer to lend it to his clients after they’d missed with their fancy rigs, and then the next time a bull showed up, they’d use his rig and both he they went away happy with a bull on the ground. Most people who own them don’t part with them but they do show up from time to time. [/QUOTE]
