[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1406841, member: 87243"] Looking for ideas for an optic on a light(ish) .338 norma build. It's on a stiller tac 338 action, manners EH-1A stock, Carbon Six magnum barrel. Rifle bare wieght will be right at 9 lbs, give or take a few .oz's. Would like to keep the weight down as much as possible, and try to keep it under $1500 or so for the scope. So far I'm looking at the Nightforce SHV 5-20x56 because it's kind of light and decent priced for what you get, or the leupold mark 4 LRT 6.5-20, mainly based on weight. But, there is alot being sacrificed, originally we wanted a Vortex Razor gen 1 5-20, massive adjustment range and great glass, but at 35+ oz, it's a pig!! This is mainly a hunting rifle, but we want to stretch it out to a mile and more at times just for fun, and was just wondering if I'm missing some other option with a good adjustment range, under say.....28 oz and less than $1500 or so. If I'm asking too much, that is fine, we will either bite the bullet on wieght and get the razor, making the rifle about 12 lbs with scope rings and bipod, or compromise some long range dialing ability and get one of the others and have it around 11.25-11.5 lbs. ready to hunt. Thanks for reading!!! [/QUOTE]
