Lightest Quality Scope?

I've kinda gone through this and I ended up ordering a Hawke Vantage 2-7x32 AO IR Mildot. Right at 16oz. They make other sizes and with and without IR. I'm putting it on a Notos .22 for close range barn work. Wanted to keep it light as I could but still very usable. I need IR though for dark corners shooting pigeons in the barn. Minus it loses some ounces I think.

I’m still waiting for the Leupold EFR’s to go on sale. Most shops don’t even have them in stock let alone a sale.
I doubt I will be patient enough to wait this decision out haha

Vixen for its lightweight & exc. glass. I have the 2-8, 3-12. I think they are like 12 oz or less. They do not have an AO or SF. but I set the parallax for 35 yards, which works well from 10-50. I also have a Vixen 2-10x56 illuminated. It is not so light. Their 2-15x 50 IL, is only 20 oz. I just ordered a Vixen 4 -16x44with SF, probably the lightest 4-16x44 out there, but I am not sure, less than 15 oz. I like these scopes better than Leupold. I bought all of them from Optic-Trade, but this time I ordered from Alpen. I have not purchased from them before hope they are a quality company. Cheaper Than Dirt used to sell them too, but I don't see them on their website anymore.

I have found the perfect lightweight scope for my needs!
www.trijicon.com
The 300 BLK reticle works great for holdovers with a PCP airgun.
I think with the ADM quick release mount mine weigh just under 9 ounces.
I have one on a Leshiy Classic.
I have another on a FX Maverick Compact 25.
The eye relief on the TA33 is very generous. I would say close to 4 inches! The optical clarity is excellent. The field of view is narrow, but with both eyes open it is a non-issue and very fast. Acogs are arguably the most durable scope you can buy.
I highly recommend this scope for ultralight applications!

If the TA33 had more magnification, would be hard to beat. If that came in 3-10,& SF I would buy one in a heartbeat. After over a half-century of shooting, mostly hunting, I have tried 100 scopes +- & finally come to the realization, I can never be fully satisfied with less than 10 power. While 6 & 8 are my favorite setting, I do need ten sometimes.

One of those Athlon 1-8 showed up here last week. I like it. Without parallax it won’t focus @10m on 6-8 power in the poor lighting of my basement, but it’s fine on lower power.Leupold and Athlon have some LPVO style scopes that are pretty lightweight. I didnt see any mention of zoom, paralax, or illumination requirements.

Outdoors it’s very nice. Put it on a Prod for now, good match.

Yep 9.5 ounces - or you can go with a fixed power scope, which are usually lighter due to fewer optical elements.

I used a Shorty DFP 1-10 on 10x yesterday, its on my AR.
Steel targets at 100Y, 200Y, 250Y, 275Y, 300Y, 421Y, 675Y, 812Y. Only a little wind, I dialed for each distance, then hit the first six targets on the first shot. It only took a few tries for the last two steel. A 10" plate at 675Y and a 12" plate at 812Y.
My main take away was that this scope really does its job well! It holds zero and it tracks perfectly. It's a keeper!
It's possibly the most versatile scope there is.

For me, a scope needs to be able focus down to 10m, in poor lighting, otherwise it is of little use to me.

The Immersive is truly lightweight/compact/wide-clear field of view and amazing for PCP use. The eyelash close eye relief makes it a no-go for springers or powder which ultimately leads to very little discussion in shooting venues. Friends will give it a 10 second test and comment that it's awkward... give it a little more time to settle and actually use it for a few shots. Great versatile addition to any quiver for quick and lite with no optical compromise.

I like those too. But I have a few scopes that do not have SF or AO & I adjusted the parallax at 35-40 yards, and they work pretty well, especially in a scope with smaller objective. 20-60 yards & not being distracted & fiddling around with the SF or AO—kind of nice while squirrel hunting.
