[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2534704, member: 116181"] Have you changed the scope out since the 2006 build? There can be some good weight saved there, newer scope models will have significantly better glass to the point you might be able to drop an objective size down, or get a magnification range tighter to what you actually run. I run a 2-7x and the quality of those small magnification scopes has gone up a lot lately. Leupold makes a couple of very nice models with illuminated center dots and simple reticles. Maybe look at single piece mounts if you have a steel rail/steel ring set up also. I ran a DMX Game Reaper on my 300 RUM and the scope didn't slip, was their 8-screw model but saved a few ounces.
