What is everyone’s suggestions on the perfect scope for a 6mm creed, trying to keep it light but have quality and the power to shoot distance.

Best for what?
How far are you shooting, in what conditions, what sized targets?
Budget?
Weight goal?
Feature preferences?
Mountain conditions, rock chuck and coyotes, out to 700 yards but might shoot some steel or rocks out to 1000. Somewhere under 28 oz, moa turret dial for elevation. $1200-1600

You just described a Nightforce NXS Compact 2.5-10x42 with their MOAR reticle. Bulletproof, dials and returns to zero, just over 20 ozs and in your budget if you can find one (y)

Do you think 10x will be enough power for the longer shots on smaller animals?

I have the NXS 5.5-22x56 on my 6cm. I love it. Its a couple ounces more than your goal, but will be well worth it.

Leupold Mk5 3.6-18 (unilluminated)

Used Vortex AMG 6-24 (although now discontinued)

Used Nightforce 4-16 ATACR (can find for barely over $1600, but weight is over 28oz)

Bushnell LRHS 2.0 (not available in MOA though).

If you’re not in a hurry, illuminated Burris XTR3 3.3-18. If you don’t need/want illumination, you can get the American made non-illuminated for $1000 at Cameraland (but it weighs 30oz).
Thank you, I will look into a couple of those, I was going to not do illumination just to keep the side turret smaller in case I throw it in a scabbard, but that is not a huge deal.
