agree, have always been a fan of the 30mm tube leupold with the 40mm objective, they run 15.8 oz, they've been called mark 4, 4.5-14x40 30mm side focus etc. and now i see they switching in illumination instead of side focus for the vx3hd 3.5-10x40 twilight hunter and the mark 3 you just suggested, they look like good options but 30mm rings will likely be a touch heavier and the scope already just about 1 lb...our hunty goals are 1 lb or less including rings, so where are the 1" tube lightweight illuminated options leupold, so we wait...the trijicon at 13.4 oz with 1" tube does the trick better, they need fire dot 3-9x40 1" at 13.5 oz and 2.5-8x36 at 11.5-12 oz imo and a fixed 6x36 firedot at 10 oz (my 6x36 is 9.5 oz with a cds-zl turret on it...just need illumination...maybe 10.5 oz tops) 
it's like leupold is dancing all around perfection but just not quite there yet haha, 1" lightweight fire dot's please, take the gold standards and add 1 oz and watch them fly off the shelf...vx3hd, 1" tube, cds-zl, fire dot....LIGHTWEIGHT, Leupold you listening?
