Thread: Light weight and reliable dialing scope....

Firstly is there such a thing as the title suggests. Also are the lighter weight scopes hardy enough for a good thrashing in kiwi conditions or will the first fall be the end of most of them? I'm currently using a VX 7 Leupold 3.5 - 14 x 50mm on a 7 SAUM and the scope alone weigh near enough to 1.5lb. On the plus side the glass is top notch. Can you get a scope round the 1lb mark that makes the cut?
