[QUOTE="A/C Guy, post: 1940966, member: 13490"] The lower grades of glass weigh less and the better grades of glass weigh more. All things being equal, scope tube, mechanicals, etc, most empty scopes will have about the same starting base weight before the glass goes in the tube. That means, if comparing 2 scopes of similar features and size, the scope with the better glass will weigh more. Trying to save 8 or 10 ounces by using cheap glass is the epitome of penny wise pound foolish.

Worth your time to look at it. [/QUOTE]
