Rifle Scopes Razor HD 1-4x

[Delta4-3]

I've got my Razor mounted on an AR and it just seems WAY heavy. I am tempted to trade it for a lighter 1-4 or even an ACOG. The rifle rarely gets streatched out past 300 yards and is almost exclusively used for coyotes and deer. I love how precise the turrets are, and having the ability to dial my dope and not rely on the reticle, though I do like the reticle. I have used ACOGs extensively, but don't have a lot of experience with some of the other nice 1-4x's out there. Will I be sorry for getting rid of it? Or do you think something lighter would be more ideal? I don't really know how it compares to similar scopes.
Thanks in advance for any input.

I thought it was too heavy as well. The SS 1-6x is nice, but is also heavy. The PST 1-4x is lighter and I think is a good buy.

The Swarovski Z6 and Kahles are great lightweight 1-6's. They are expensive but are well worth the coin in my opinion.

The Vortex PST 1-4 is a very nice and clear optic that is 16oz. For the price, you could certainly try it out before looking at the 1-6 options that are a lot more money. The only 1-6 I am interested in is the Mark6, weighing in at the same weight as my PST 1-4.

That's a hefty price jump. The Swarovski Z6 that Chris mentioned is in the same price range as the Mark6, weighs less then the PST and equally priced.

I cannot say that I favor any of the Z6 reticles. The Mark6 can be had for a bit cheaper than Swarovskis as well.

The Trijicon TR24 is very light.

edit: I have one for sale in an ADM mount, too.

I have a Leupy Mk 6 1-6X20 FFP on my HK MR 762 and really like it. It's expensive but from what I have seen so far it is an excellent scope.

lol, thanks. I watched that movie when I was a kid and about died laughing when I saw Van Damme punch a snake. That's getting into Chuck Norris territory.

Wow, thanks for all the replies. Sounds like the PST line might be the way to go. I love every feature of the Razor, except its weight. I wish I could swing buying second optic right now because Id much rather have both!
Mike@CST, Ill check you guys out if I can talk the committee into buying another as opposed to swapping, thanks.

I just read up on the 24, that seems like a really good balance of options.
