[QUOTE="jmden, post: 322197, member: 1742"] I think I know the answer to this question, but want to make sure I'm aware of all the options, so I'm asking you guys. Most of my big game hunting is wilderness backpack hunting so lightweight, compact and functional are very important principles. So, is there a scope out there that is less than 23 oz., has 1/4 MOA wind and ele. turrets, an MOA based reticle such as NF NPR1, a bottom end mag. of 3-4.5 and a top end mag. of 18-22? I've a feeling I'll end up with NF 5.5-22 to get the matching knobs and reticles (Why is it that so few manufactures manage to offer both MOA knobs and reticles in the same scope?) in MOA, even though I wish it was lighter and had a lower bottom end mag. I'd go with Leup, but the concept of offering an MOA reticle seems almost foreign to them in conversations I've had and their mag. ranges leave a little to be desired (which, to their credit, they realize and are working on.) I do really like the 3.8-18x mag. range of the 56mm VX-7L, but, again, no MOA based reticle. Any other ideas? [/QUOTE]
