NF 2.5-10x24.Look into their ballistic reticle if you plan on hunting with it.

What are you planning on using it for? Fixed or variable? Price range? Give us a bit more info to help you make a more educated decision...

Jeebus,
counting ounces?!?! Leupold ultra-lite 2-7 if you like the name and price tag. Otherwise it's as I said, a numbers game. you'll have to do some serious research to compare weights and features if you are dead set on making every .oz count. Best of luck tho, let us know what you decide to go w/ when you make your choice.
Jeebus,
Re: What optics for a light weight carry rifle
I am a big fan of the IOR 2.5-10X. I have the older version with the MP8 but the new version looks really nice (contemplating an upgrade, LOL). Scott at LO is running a special on them right now buy one get a red dot. Take a look.

I put a Zeiss Diavari 2.5-10x42 on my Ti 7-08 and added an elevation knob. I believe it is just about perfect.

if it's for heavy duty use i'd go with a glass reticle..... maybe a USO 1.8-10x36 with zeroing knobs ?

Re: What optics for a light weight carry rifle
I like my Nikon Monarch X 2.5-10x44, very clear and keeps a good zero and returnable zero. Mine is mounted on an Rem. LTR that is in a hardcase in trunk of my patrol car and I have not had any issues with it changing POI. Got mine for around $900.

I bought one of the newest one from Scott and this little scope is awesome! It tracked perfectly, clicks are very positive and the glass is WAYYY better than my NXS 3.5-15 ZS MLR. Also my IOR dials a mil and a half down from my zero so it's like the PH's zero stop, I don't know maybe I got lucky with this one.

+1 that is one hell of a scope to have, hold on to it at least if it´s from the old line, the new ones are good but not as good.
Btw 2,5-10x is about as perfect range of magnification for a hoofed game hunting rifle there is.
Best regards Chris

Re: What optics for a light weight carry rifle
Kahles with TDS if you can find one, blows most glass away clarity wise and light transmission. I own five and they won't be goin anywhere. I think they are 15-17 oz and with some tinkering and a flat shooter your good for killn to 600.
