Rifle Scopes Lightweight scope?

[tucansam]

I took my hulking IOR 3-18x50 off my Rem 700 to put it on another rifle, and realized how light the rifle (LTR) really is. Got me thinking of replacing the IOR on it with a lightweight scope. Was looking at the Leupold Mark 6 at 23.6oz.

What are some other lightweight scopes in the same class that I should be considering?

All of these are around the $1400-$1800 ballpark, and all I would say would be the equivalent or better optically than the IOR.
My favorite overall is probably the Swaro, followed by the Kahles.

Leica 3.5-14x42 ER 30mm Rifle Scope 18 oz.
Kahles 3-12x56 Helia C 30mm Riflescope 19 oz.
Schmidt & Bender 3-12x42 Variable Hunting 30mm Riflescope 20 oz.
Swarovski 3.5-18x44 Z5 Riflescope 16 oz.
Zeiss 3-12x56 Victory Diavari 30mm Rifle Scope 17.5 oz.

Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10x32 FFP is one of the best new scopes I've seen on the market recently. It's extremely well built for the money and one that I am hoping to add to my collection soon.

I appreciate the replies guys. I'm looking for 15-18x or better, turrets, mil/mil, zero stop, etc.

I would add the March 3-24 ffp, 22.6 oz. FFP with mil/mil and zero stop. The glass is very good for the dimensions of this scope. I have had one for a while and it has yet to let me down.

Yep, I'd say the March mentioned above (22.5 oz.).
Or, Premier Light Tactical 3-15x50 (25.5 oz), or Leupy Mark 6 (23.5oz ). These 3 are about the lightest I know of in Alpha glass and full "tactical" features. All 3 excellent scopes, might be a few others under 25 oz. not sure.
