[QUOTE="Methow Packer, post: 1369184, member: 67515"] Opinions needed for a scope that is not too tall, long or heavy. The rifle is a 270WSM with a 26"Brux #3 barrel. I carry scabbard rifles often and a lot of the time riding in hard hilly country. The rifle needs to be as light as reasonable for LR shooting. The scope needs to be smaller and lighter as well. 3x18x44 or 50mm with shorter MOA turrets are what I'm looking for. Larger bulky scopes don't work. My thoughts are Leupold VX6 HD or Huskemaw 5x20. Which would you choose or not and why. Both are smaller and lighter than a lot of others. Please what are some opinions. I realize it's hard to beat Nightforse but they're really large for this type of gun. Scopes smaller than 18 power to me would not be enough power. [/QUOTE]
