[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 878377, member: 39764"] Weight is in direct relationship to magnification/power. A 3-9 in comparable alloy tube with a 4-16 will always be lighter and a 4-16 will be lighter than a 6.5-24 and a 1" tube is lighter than a 30 or 35MM tube. Finally, side parallelax will always be heavier than an AO scope (adjustable parallelax on the objective, and, a fixed parallelax (100 yard) scope will always be lighter than a adjustable parallelax whether side (focus/parallelax adjustable) or AO (Adjustable objective parallelax adjustment). Add in illuminated reticle and corresponding battery and the weight increases again., Your lightest scope will be a fixed power in a 1" tube, non-illuminated reticle.... also the least user friendly, next to a red dot or railway sight.
