    Well I bought another rifle

    A Savage Ultra Light in 28 Nosler with a proof carbon barrel . Just got it yesterday . I put together some fed 215 , ELDX 175 and N570 rounds in ADG brass . Now to find a scope for it .

    Thinking maybe a Leopold .

    Nice! I could see a Leupy VX-5 or VX-6 on top of that rig. Or are you a Mark5 kinda man?

    I have no idea , thinking the VX5 2x15 44 , it's only 19 oz's . I have a Nikon FX1000 6x24 and a Nikon FX1000 4x16 I could use , but they're 25 oz's .
    I have not looked at the Mark 5 . Should I?

    The Mark line are heavier. Seems you are going as light as possible, right? And I’m guessing this is specifically a hunting rifle? Stick with the VX line. If the 3-15 suits your magnification needs, go for it. They are great hunting scopes. Very nice glass.

    I'm thinking 3x18 would work better ? But yes , lightweight is my focus . I bought that Kimber , but it just feels "OFF" , if you know what I mean ?

    If you needed that you would know it. But then if you have 2000+/- for a scope That is an excellent choice. Then there is an optic that is impressing a lot of people ....Tract optics.
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    Wow , it does look nice , the Tract that is , but at 28oz's it's really too heavy for me . And no , I really don't have $2000 for a scope right now, LOL

    I‘s say this scope has everything you’re looking for(except for lower price)
