[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1159081, member: 33822"] Also keep in mind that you'll need optics with adjustable focus. fixed focus scope just can't be consistent in hunting conditions because the reticle moves on target when your position on the gun changes. I've shot great groups at longer ranges with my light rifle & fixed focus scopes, but they were not on bullseye. They would have been gut-shots on an animal. I think the lightest scopes you'll find that are capable at long range are going to be in the 16 ounce ballpark. Mine is a Leupold VX6 3-18x50 that weighs in at 20.5 ounces. The new Vortex Razor HD LH looks awesome and weighs 16.5 ounces and is affordable copmpared to the swaro and other top-tier options. So give that a look. [/QUOTE]
