I’m worse than as far as gun weight. I prefer 6.5-7 lb guns and scope weight is definitely a consideration to me. I consider 17 oz as the top weight for a scope and to me it seems 20-25 oz is where most scopes over 16x start in weight.

You want power. You need glass. Glass is heavy. You want wieght reduction, light strong metals cost as does good glass.

The Leupold VX3i EFR 6.5-20x40 AO is only 17.8 oz. and really dirt cheap considering the level of optics it has. Other EFR variants of this same scope applies. Heres one place to buy and retails for just under $1000.00 and aren't bound by MAP PRICING unlike most popular scope brands that seem way overpriced to the savy shopper with discriminating tastes.
