[QUOTE="Mike D Texas, post: 2775645, member: 71221"] With everything there are compromises. Many lightweight scopes use plastic on some of the internal parts which cannot be as durable as metal. Glass quality plays a big role in not only optical quality but also weight. It cannot be argued against that NF scopes have been proven to be robust, reliable and repeatable. Some of the other lighter options, maybe not so much. Sacrifices have to be made somewhere to make them lighter and you have to make choices as to what are important to you. It should be noted that almost all alpha scopes (NF, ZCO, Kahles, Razor, etc) are typically substantially heavier than other scopes in the same category. The Vortex LHT is a good example. There is no doubt that compromises were made to get the scope to the weight it is. [/QUOTE]
