I have the 4.5-30x model, it's good. Much better glass quality and image appears a lot brighter than the price would indicate, definitely a big step up from the lower tier Athlon scopes and worth the price increase.
Looking at specs, I missed the weight on it. I was hoping for something a little lighter. Back to search.
Excellent...thats how we do it in the neighborhood of friends, and gentlemen, a little horse trading, some free work, accumulate and assemble the items needed...and have fun doing it.

Do you have a particular weight you're targeting?
The Leupold VX-3HD is a solid performer, 20oz in 20x.

I have the HST in 4-16x, it's also a good scope. Dials feel good for the price, tracked well enough for my use, used it for over a year before moving on.
I personally like the Leopold better because of the Firedot reticle some of their scopes have in them. It looks like a standard duplex reticle (which I've always preferred on hunting rifles), but it has illumination that is ONLY a red dot centered on the cross hair. It's just enough of a light boost for those shaded late shots as the sun is dying out without making the entire reticle light up and show me all the junk I don't really want to see anyways. 200-300 yards is where I'll set up MPBR and don't want a bunch of stadia lines or BDC drops in the way.
Thanks, Buddy.
