I am looking for a light weight scope that I could use for a hunting trip but also use afterwards for matches and general shooting. Something FFP, Mil/Mil, 5-25.

I've used of the above except the TT and all punch above their weight (literal weight). Give up very little to larger heavier alternatives. I'm sure the TT does too, I just haven't used one.
I have tested all four and still have three (Mark 5 went back to Leupold and if they had a non-Horus tree reticle, I would have bought it from them). In practical terms, I use TT and March the most of this group, so I will probably grudgingly sell my AMG. It is an exceptional scope, but it is sitting on the shelf collecting dust most of the time. I have used it for a couple of comparisons, but aside from that it has been sitting idle for a couple of years. It should go to someone who will actually shoot with it. It is too nice to be a paperweight.

@LibertyOptics has a pretty sweet deal on the Vortex AMG, if you can deal with the 4-week wait. Mine showed up and was supposed to go on a .223 build, but ended up on my Vudoo instead.
Put any thought into a Vudu 5-25? I have one in md3 reticle and its great glass and super compact. I run it on my gas gun and a razor gen2 on my bolt.
I'll second dirtheads comment. I had a schmidt&bender pm2 and I just wasn't happy with it at all, picked up a leupold mark 5 3.8-18 and I don't think I'll ever need another scope

The Leupold CCH MRAD tree reticle:
The Leupold Impact 60 MOA tree reticle:
These are too similar to Horus and CCH is based on 0.25mrad subtension on top of that.
