[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 296892, member: 1521"] Good discussion The reason I bring up weight is that I set it before building a gun. If it's a woodchuck rifle, my limit is 12lbs. If it's a 1K LG, it'll finish at 16lb 15oz. Either way, a pound more scope means a more top heavy gun with a pound less barrel. Higher scope mounting(56mm+) is undesirable due to increased level sensitivity. A bubble level is a bit lacking in resolution. Especially when shooting off a bipod in the rolling hills up north. Alot of folks cursing Leupolds have not used Mk4s. IMO Leupold has completely diluted -their own market, with so many models. Outside of a few specials in their lineup(like airgun scopes) they should have discontinued all but Mk4s. Or, atleast include year and revision in their model# so that anyone would know what they're buying. I've seen 10yr+ Vari-x scopes on gunshop shelves, on sale as new. But truthfully, they are very old -unused scopes. And they are no match for NXS.. Anyway, I'm sure thread starter was looking for more than 2 scope discussion. So I'm out...... [/QUOTE]
