[QUOTE="Bullmark, post: 2107710, member: 113003"] It’s really a personal choice....I love the S&B Exos, but it’s 32oz, and I wouldn’t mount it on a lightweight rifle, unless it was the only choice I had. I def think a heavy scope changes the balance and feel of a really lightweight rifle. I sold the only NF I’ve owned for that reason. The rifle was new and felt heavier than I thought a 9lb build would, then adding a 39-40oz scope really pushed it over the edge for me. Luckily I was able to sell it quickly and didn’t take a bath. I loved the scope and the way it was indestructible.....I never took it outdoors so I can’t say how it compares optically to this or that. Everyone has their priorities. I drive an ‘03 Land Cruiser w/ 312k miles and see no reason to change. Some folks have a weakness for nice cars....I don’t. Scopes and binocs are another story. I have 4 or 5 glass makers that I’ll use and that’s it. Luckily I can find a weight range within that group that allows for lighter and heavier options. And there are more fine scopes available now that meet different price points and weight ranges. [/QUOTE]
