    Rifle Scopes Lightest 34mm rings?

    I also ended up with Mountain Tech rings after posting this thread. I am happy with them. I believe the low rings I bought were about 105 grams.

    Rifle Scopes The scope I have been waiting over 10 years for...

    Lightweight = 600gm or so. Compact, well less than a foot and a half long March F is very close to what I would like, I just wish they'd make it with a 4x erector, that must surely be simpler and less optical compromise? As I have I have a Mk6, also have an LRHS, have had NXS etc in the past...

    Heck make a F1 NXS 2.5-10x42 and I'll replace everything I own with them.

    Rifle Scopes The scope I have been waiting over 10 years for...

    My Mk6 replaced a 3-12x50 PMII, and had to go back to the factory day 1 out of the box as the tracking was pretty significantly Not Straight

    Rifle Scopes The scope I have been waiting over 10 years for...

    I don't actually mind the Mk6 but I wish it was 30mm, even with a 4x erector instead of 6x I would be more than happy. I don't like the march due to the 8x erector, it seems like it adds additional compromise for a gimmick where the top end of the magnification is no practical use anyway

    I've been waiting for a lower mag AMG, it seemed like what I was hoping for, but never yet appeared

    Rifle Scopes The scope I have been waiting over 10 years for...

    The Mk5 uses 35mm mounts which counts it out for what I want (a hunting rifle with a decently featured scope) as it requires heavy rings + bases, as well as the scope itself weighing somewhere over 700gm. 30mm = Talley ringmounts! I have a 3-18x44 Mk6 which is about the closest there is, aside...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce 2.5-10x42 .... This is what was missing !! :)

    I'd like a FFP 2-12, just because I'm used to using FFP scopes, there's no real-world downside to a FFP reticle even at lower powers and I often shoot animals etc at 6x or so for field of view but still like to be able to hold wind.

    Hunting & Fishing New Zealand Sheep Hunting!

    I don't think this particular hut is a NZFS/Internal Affairs cullers' hut but yes, that is how a lot of them got there originally, along with old miners or farming huts.

    Hunting & Fishing New Zealand Sheep Hunting!

    This is slightly different to US sheep hunting - not Bighorn or Marco Polo, but hunting for wild merino sheep on public land in New Zealand

    Rifle Scopes Sako Finnlight and a AtacR 4-16x50

    I have a Sako 85 Finnlight in .260. I have a custom 20moa rail on the action (had it drilled and tapped). I have used a 3-12x50 S&B PMII for a long time, and the ATACR would be a similar size and weight. I think it is slightly too large and heavy for the rifle and recently changed to a Leupold...

    Rifle Scopes Caution with Leupold scopes

    My Mk6 came from the factory with a canted erector mechanism, I sent it in for repair and it was fixed quickly and returned, and now tracks straight as far as I can measure. No complaints about the warranty service, not thrilled with the initial QC.

    Rifle Scopes Mk6 3-18x44 - overview and tracking test

    No description of what they’ve done in either of the emails. Might have to wait til it arrives? Would’ve liked a human to human comms on it to make sure it’s fixed

    Rifle Scopes Mk6 3-18x44 - overview and tracking test

    How’s that for turnaround time; the MK6 arrived at Leupold on Monday and shipped back to me today. Haven’t received anything to say what they did though... not sure if that’s normal?
