Hey guys,
So I’m in the process of putting together a lightweight budget rig for backpack style hunting. I’m looking to keep shots within 600, and keep the weight LOW. It’s going on the Tikka I got from the eurooptic closeout.
At first I considered a Nightforce, but then anything they offer goes against the lightweight part. The next thought was in the entirely opposite direction, going with a (now discontinued) Leupold ultralight in like a 2-8 or 3-9x3x with whatever their BDC reticle is.
I’m open to suggestions that aren’t vortex. I’d like to keep the weight no higher than 12-14oz. I’d like to keep the magnification around 3 or 4 on the low end. Price isn’t really a huge deal, maybe keep it under $800? Less is better but quality still wins.
