I think they are around 17.5 oz. I have one on my Veteran Shorty and it seems like a good fit. I haven’t had it out in the woods yet to be able give it a good trying out but it seems to be a great little scope for the price. I opted for the second focal plane version after reading that the reticule is hard to see on lower magnification on the FFP.
Have the VV 4-12 as well, wasn't enough magnification for shooting dime-size circles @ 50 yds. Own three 6-24x44FFP, couldn't be more satisfied but reticle is thin @ lower magnification. Optics Warehouse (UK) sold first for $196, latest $257, high-priced shipping included. Like to own a few more, super subcompact size and phenomenal glass make this scope a no-brainer. WM
What are the drawbacks that you are wanting to correct as far as the scope goes? Length and/or weight? I'm using a couple of different light weight scopes that I like on the AAA rifles that 'check off all the boxes' that I want in a scope. The Nightforce NX8 1-8×24 is a good little scope at 17 oz. and crystal clear, but no parallax adjustment (it's accurate and easy to get behind though). Here's a pic of the size difference with a longer scope similar to yours.
www.airgunnation.com Only draw backs I can see is the turrets dont feel like $1k range turrets(not a huge deal for me since I set it and forget it and use holdovers), parallax is min of 20 yards, not as rugged as the night force on your slayer but usually ruggedness adds weight. At 19 oz I can't really complain but I have only been shooting 50-100 yards with it so when I start shooting 5-15 yards we will see if the parallax at 20 yards becomes a problem.
I have found with parallax adjustment at closer ranges than the minimum adjustment calls for, or on this lpvo scope with a 125 yard fixed setting, simply dialing parallax to minimum works along with some dialing down of the variable power to make the image crisper works great. And I make sure that I am squarely behind the eyepiece to correct parallax.Only draw backs I can see is the turrets dont feel like $1k range turrets(not a huge deal for me since I set it and forget it and use holdovers), parallax is min of 20 yards, not as rugged as the night force on your slayer but usually ruggedness adds weight.

How's the eyebox on the nightforce at higher magnification? Is it easy to get behind or does it become finicky?
I'm not trying to correct any drawbacks just mentioning that I like it but it isn't perfect. I'm just curious what everyone else is using and getting enjoyment out of. I appreciate the replies!
