Lightest LPVO (that will hold zero)

Any opinions on the lightest or a very lightweight LPVO (current or old production) that will still hold zero through some serious abuse/vibrations? I'm willing to sacrifice glass quality and tracking for these characteristics, but I am hoping to find something with a true 1x low-end magnification and illumination, if possible. I understand the Leupold LPVOs are very lightweight, but I don't know anything about their ability to hold zero on long car/ATV rides and I don't know if they have a 1x model or illumination.

Something less than $1,500 would be great. Thanks

This is what I've been looking at--the lightest I've found so far. Any idea how well it holds zero? Aren't there some leupold models (maybe older) that are lighter, at around 9 oz?

Thanks
 
They were used pretty extensively in 3gun and seemed to hold up good. I believe they're Japanese made LOW scopes. I have the 1-6. The 1-4 is a lot lighter and paired with the battery free illumination its hard to beat for a truck gun.

The Leupold Mark 3HD is listed at 9.6oz, but it isn't true 1x on the lower end.
 
This TR24 has been mine since it just was released as a new model. Can't remember that far back . 4 carbine classes, 10k rounds across 3 different uppers. I trust it holding zero enough to mount it on my current GoTo KAC upper. And I could have easily bought something higher end . For contact to 300 yards its simple, fast and works . Even in low light , its always usable. Could it use more FOV ? Definitely, but its the sum of all its strengths that make it an outstanding choice.
