LOOKS LIKE MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED. Nightforce just about nailed everything I want except for the weight and price. Can't believe it. Time to start saving. 4-16 ATACR, ED glass,low profile elevation, capped windage knob, and ffp. http://nightforceoptics.com/atacr/4-16x42-f1It's about time. Saw that late yesterday. I'm a bit interested to say the least. I hate yall. I opened the link.  I want one! 30oz qualifies as 'light'? Would love to have one, though.

Seems a good time to bump this tread. Having thought about it, I don't think the f1 4-16 is the scope for me after all. Just doesn't fit my weight requirements.

From what I have seen we all have two options.
1. Run whichever heavy scope you want that will shoot distance.
2. Run a Vortex Viper PST. It'll certainly shoot distance, and it is the lightest I have found with the same features.

It does seem encouraging that these companies are starting to listen. First the lrhs, now the 4-16 f1.
Sounds like they are starting to take advice from actual hunters/shooters.

The 4.5-18 has alot going for it. I would rather have the 3x bottom end over a 18x top end.
Field of view is paramount.

What I am running at the moment on my 308 gas gun What are your overall thoughts on this scope? I'm thinking the tmr or tremor 2 reticle might be pretty nice depending.

Agreed, but the M5c2 turret is all that interests me. Truly a nice scope for a design standpoint.
3k is a tough pill to swallow right now.

For the love of God, please don't buy a tremor 2 reticle. After a closer look I will be sticking to the tmr. When it's not zoomed in (on my phone) it resembled the g2 or gap reticle which I'm good with not the busy type it actually is.

it's a damned nice scope.
another one to consider is the Steiner Tactical 3-15
