I like the half mil dot on my hawke sidewinder 6.5x20x42 but not the 27oz it weights . looking for similar power x20 but around 16oz . Any suggestions ?
Need suggestions for a light weight 1/2 mildot scope

I really like that Hawke reticle being calibrated and true at 20X instead of the more common 10X. It really spreads things out. There are some nice 1/2 mil's but I haven't found one like the Hawke. If a fixed power would work, the SWFA's are very nice and light with a very fine 1/2mil reticle. Excellent price to boot.

ok not more than 2k$ More in the line of the hawke I have under 1k... Variable power 20x minimum . As close to 16oz no more than 20oz or so. I know this is specific , I just think the 27 oz hawke is too much I love the 1/2mil rect.. and side wheel, I also have a sightron 2 16x that's 16 oz, but my hawke at 20x is easier for me to see with . I have searched and from what I have found at any price scopes are not light weight and more than 20x together...

If you’re military or ex military or police/firefighter/first responder look at Vortex Razor HD LH with HRC-4 reticle. It’s an MOA reticle but very detailed and as good as the Hawke 1/2 mil dot. With 40% discount its around $650. 3-15x42. 16 ounces

I have a 4x16x42 sightron that's 16oz. Im looking for minimum 20x power and between 16-20oz . The extra power of the 20x or more dose help me see better.

Yeah, I understand... The Sightron II also comes in a 6-24x, but same basic non-detailed mil dot reticle... Still under 20 ounces...

I see that one now. That's what I'm looking for . Thanks
Would have been perfect with side wheel focus and 1/2 mildot
