Lightest ffp scope offering with a budget

[madeintheuk]

I’ve been busting on my vet 2 this whole time for being heavy, but after removing the scope (which came already in it), it’s much much lighter. Got me thinking. I’d definitely keep it if I could find a replacement that was lighter, but I’m not spending the same on the scope as I spend on the rifle. What’s out there for budget lightweight scopes that are ffp?

Thanks in advance.

Vector Veyron, ultra-compact and lightweight. Major improvement over long, heavy scopes on bullpups. WM

What is a) inexpensive & b) lightweight for you? Those would be the parameters to start your search. It's a bit subjective to the individual's purpose & tastes.

I agree with @WorriedMan . Vectors are my go to scope.

Discovery also makes a nice 3-12 scopes that's very compact for about $200

How light is lightweight for you? About 1.5 pounds is pretty much the lightest I've seen. Here's an example:

I realized it was SFP but couldn't delete before you responded. Most of what I've seen is around 1.5 lbs.

Okay, well the ones I shared are under 1lb so they should be a great option for ya, plus they have a 5yr warranty.

I should have elaborated. Inexpensive to me would be under $500.
Lightweight would be anything under 1lb ish.

If you have a fixed magnification scope, what difference would it make between FFT and SFP? Pardon my ignorance here.

Like JaceSpace said above, this Discovery FFP scope is 16oz and compact. Like you, my Vet 2 Tactical 550mm is heavy which I like. This scope would make it lighter and balanced, more centered because it's so compact, like LPVO scope.

I have never seen or heard of a fixed FFP scope so I could not tell you.

I miss my hubens..

I have a couple fixed 10 X scopes. A Vector marksman 10 x 44 and a discovery 10 x 42. Turrets on both are in mil and as far as I can tell they are accurate. I’m sure there’s more to it otherwise why even label it as such.

I really like both of them , but I do prefer the Vector only because of the weight.

Today, I ordered a Vector Veyron 6-24x44 SFP weight 20 1/2 ounces from Amazon. The price is 249.00 but they offer a 25% discount which is good until April 20th. The discount drops the price to 184.75. As of today, their are only 9 left. The scope parallaxes down to 10 yards. Hard to pass up that deal. I am going to mount it on my .22 caliber Stoeger Bullshark bullpup. Oh, The scope is 11.9 inches long. Free shipping too.

 

[ctshooter]

The Vector Veyron 4-16x44 FFP is 10.6" long and 18.7oz. Other than the reticle being a little fine on lower zoom settings it's a pretty decent scope and clarity is good.

Even the 2-12 Discovery mentioned above is 16.6oz. Going to be hard to get under a pound.

 

[madeintheuk]

Went for the discoverly.

Thanks for all the help guys! Now to wait till it comes all the way from China!

 

[bchannell]

I can second the Vector Veyron, I have two and they're great.
