[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 4390501, member: 1132"] I'll admit my biggest beef with modern optics is weight, not price. Some of these behemoths are closing in on 2 pounds with rings! I wouldn't mind if I wanted a benchrest gun, but I don't. Handling characteristics are important to me in a rifle. When you've got so much weight perched up high on the gun, it just throws off the handling. I still fall back to Leupold for the most part because they seem to strike a decent compromise on weight, quality, durability and cost. With all the materials advancement of the past few decades these companies could produce a lighter set of scopes. They just don't. :( [/QUOTE]
