[QUOTE="coyotezapper, post: 1696292, member: 20438"] This question gets asked a lot. I base my scope decision on weight. I have set a max weight for a mountain rifle and optic to be 7 lbs. If my rifle is 6 lbs. then I need a scope that is one lb and so on. Now 7 lbs to the guys on rokslide is way too heavy. They like finished rifles under 6 lbs. You need to decide what your target weight is and decide from there. There are plenty of good lightweight scopes. My mountain rifles have scopes that weigh 9 and 16 ozs. and the 16 oz scope will shoot LD no problem with both reticle and turrets. And believe me when I say ounces matter in a mountain rifle. BTW, the Z3 is an excellent scope. [/QUOTE]
