NF compact NXS and Ultralight rifle Question

[Ltsheets]

Has anyone put one of the 2.5-10x42 NXS scopes on a 6lb or less rifle? I'm curious of how it balanced on such a light rifle.

I put a NF NXS 2.5-10x32 (compact, 20 oz, same as the x42), on a Sako Finnlight 30-06. The rifle alone is 6 - 6 1/2 lbs, so not as light as yours, but it balances perfect. I tried another NXS at 33 oz, but it felt a tad too top heavy. The barrel length may have an impact on how it handles also.

Hope this helps. Post pics when you get it set up.

I've got the 32mm version on top of a 7# rifle with a 23" Brux #3, and it feels like a match made in heaven. Very good choice for a lightweight hunting rifle if you ask me.

I've got a 21 ounce SWFA 6x on my 6 pound coyote rifle. Feels great.
