[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1696737, member: 54178"] Have a light weight 6.5 PRC Browning X-Bolt Pro with fluting everywhere and a carbon fiber stock so, like you, I needed a light(er) scope. My requirements were: 1. mil/mil turrets and reticle 2. lighted "Xmas tree" style reticle 3. FFP reticle 4. less than 30 oz. 5. good quality So I got a Bushnell Elite LRTS 4.5 - 18 x 44 scope at 28 oz. At 14.5" it's a bit longer than I wanted but in all other respects it checks all the boxes above. The reticle is a G3 which is a smaller Xmas tree reticle more suitable for hunting. It cost $979. from an online store. [B]BUT,[/B] had the Nightforce NX8 2.5 - 20 x 50 scope come out in time I'd have bought it - for about another $900. than my Bushnell LRTS. But this beautiful 12" scope is worth the money. I may even get it later this year with the illuminated MIL-XT reticle. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
