Lightweight scope

[peterk1234]

Going to get a savage lady hunter 6.5 creedmor for my wife. I'm trying to figure out the appropriate glass. Shooting out to 350 yards max is my guess. Would like it to be lightweight, and if course, decent quality glass. She will not be dialing. Set it and forget it. Also any help on type of duplex greatly appreciated.

We went with a vx3 2.5-8 on my wife’s model 7.

The Maven Rs.2 2-10 is another good option. Good glass but eye relief is a little short, on something low recoil that’s not really an issue

The Leupold stuff is pretty light. The VX-HD in a 40mm objective would be perfect.

Swarovski z3. I have the 4w reticle which is essentially a duplex with windage marks. Simple, light, best in class glass. If you are a gohunt member you get a good deal if you call and order direct from Cody.

VX-3HD 2.5-8x36 CDS-ZL Duplex

The VX®-3HD 2.5-8x36mm delivers legendary performance and extreme clarity in an incredibly tough, lightweight package. It's the perfect workhorse for timber hunting and mid-range shots.

Leupold 2-7. My favorite was one with the Leupold Dot but I’m not sure those are even made anymore. duplex should be fine for all shots 0-350, sight in 2-3” high at 100.

I've been a big fan of Sightron.
I really think the quality is above their price point.
But they've become more competition focused.

I have 4 Burris Fullfields now.
All the E1. One has the BDC reticle, the others MOA reticles.
All 4.5-14X42.

I also really like my Crimson Trace. With their new Brushline & Hardline (Pro series for each also) you get a lot of options.
And Japanese ED glass.
A lot of bang for the buck!

Trijicon Accupoint 3-9x40 would be a good option. Great glass, bombproof and lightweight.
