cv0lv0g0, you should take into consideration other factors than just length, weight, reticle, etc. I have a MK6 3-18x44 FFP, TMR reticle, a great little package with good glass, good useable reticle and a lightweight. I also have a Hensoldt 4-16x56, length 13.15 inches, FFP, nh1 reticle, superb reticle and glass, illuminated, but no zero stop, weighs 31oz. These scopes are as different as apples and oranges but get the job done. Its nice to have a compact lightweight scope, but its very important to consider other scope options such as a reticle that works for you, quality turrets, zero stop is nice, but shouldn't be an over riding factor. The March scopes are superb but pricey, looked through them numerous times, they bring a lot to the table.
