35.6 ounces according to their website, but it's always difficult to accommodate all parameters ,We are either going to have to balance price or weight.

Agreed, that's why I noted a compromise.
Sightron or the Arken. Arken is a Solid scope with great glass. You can also use the Arken turrets as shot glass as they're so big.
Not really. Arken rings are great and VERY affordable, as in FREE. Coupon code NSF$170 and you get the accessory pack for about $35. Includes Rings, throw lever, level, scope caps, and tee shirt to boot.The OP is....VERY cost conscious. So, I find a humorous irony in the recommendation for an Arken scope - with a 34mm tube. The rings for that diameter are enough to blow his budget!

How about FREE! See above my edited post. Excuse me, about $35 for the accessory pack.
This! The fixed scopes (I have the 12/16) are excellent options. However, I do not know if it meets the OP's requirement for a close shot.

Rings were never specified. How do we know what scope he has now, the diameter, or if he had a scope for this rifle?

A touch over budget at $419 but a great scope (durable, tracks well, glass well above its price range).

Please don't confuse the OPThe OP is....VERY cost conscious. So, I find a humorous irony in the recommendation for an Arken scope - with a 34mm tube. The rings for that diameter are enough to blow his budget!
with the person the OP is helping!The OP understands the value of putting money down on a mid range optic in terms of reticles, ffp, durability, holding zero and just going where dialed! Glass can add value too, but just holding zero and moving the dialed amount are worth so much in an aiming device.
On the other hand, the OP finds himself helping people that do things like adjusting "zero" a couple clicks every time they go shooting with the same ammo without concern for the optic. Some people fail to understand the differences between a $100 aiming device and $300, $600, $1000, $1500, etc.
Thanks for all this help. I'm going to make a list of alternative so the gift receiver has a preprepped list of exchange options!

Referencing the 34mm scope recommendation.
Now we are talking! Heck - that is tempting for me to try at the price. Tellme - are these rings machine for forged? In other words...do they need lapping? I ask because I will spend money for rings that do not need lapping - vs lapping cheap rings. Just me....
