    Lightweight Scope

    Hey guys throwing an interesting thread out there...
    I'm after a lightweight scope, with a 5-25 or thereabouts mag range, for LR work with good tracking, non capped turrets, and glass good enough to tip up deer at dusk.
    Mil or Moa doesn't really bug me.
    I hoping I've missed a brand, that's light and fits the bill.
    I'm looking forward to suggestions

    Nothing it's top of the list and currently on one rifle.
    It's light the glass is awesome but.....
    With the Zero stop removed it's easy to get lost when going out to 1000+ as there's no turret graduation lines, it's my only dislike.
    A Moa/mil marked reticle would also be handy.
    Not half fussy a!!!!

    Do you know your max elevation from zero or approx. max range dialable? if so don't need zero stop just come back down from max.
