Lightweight Build for Stalk hunts

[StoneTower]

Burris are good but the Vortex is that much better, plus extra features that would usually cost far more.

More bang for your buck.

I understand going with a lightweight optic when building a lightweight build, but that scope is not that lightweight and 16 oz. When I will looking for a scope for my Grendel, I looked at all kinds of scopes and finally chose the Bushnell 6500 2.5-15. It weighs 17 oz but the extra power is worth the small gain in weight. It is sometimes nice to be able to crank up the power before you "reach out and touch something".

If you really need a lightweight optic and don't need magnification, think about one of these:

Leupold DeltaPoint Reflex Red Dot Sight
