AHEM...
I have returned the SIG scope because it was way too
heavy at 37.7 oz.
I ordered a Bushnell LRTS 4.5 - 18 x 44 W/ illuminated G3 reticle. It's 10 oz. lighter.
Thankfully Optics Planet emailed me a prepaid shipping label. I'll pay for the insurance (because, hey, that's the kinda guy I am
)

UPDATE: Got the
Bushnell Elite LRTS 4.5 - 18 x 44 illuminated. FFP, mil/mil and 28 oz. Not bad at all for Optics Planet's sale price of less than $1,000. (plus Nevada sales tax)
(
This is an excellent
long range hunting scope. Great illuminated G3 reticle and
very good glass. OK, so not as good as MARCH ED Prime glass but still great glass. Plus the magnification range and scope size is just right.
BTW, I have searched for a light, long range FFP, mil/mil hunting scope due a year!
Ex. The Huskemaw Blue Diamond 4 - 16 x 42.
But I want FFP, mil/mil and illuminated reticle,
none of which the Blue Diamond had. Plus to me the BD's BDC reticle is useless with LRF binoculars that give a hold for your specific cartridge.
Yes, the MARCH 3 - 24 x 43 illuminated is the best but Mon Deu! $2,000. better than the Bushnell LRTS?? Methinks not.
