Actual weight of Leupold EFR 6x20
Anyone know what an actual weight for the EFR 6x20x40 is? the manuf. lists it at 19. I'm at 7lbs 6 oz with gun and BKL 257 rings. I'm afraid the EFR will put me over for hunter class... I may go with a V-24 or a sightron both of those list around 17 oz. Any thoughts are appreciated

I have had weights be off by as much as 1.8 ounces before, even from manufacturers like Sightron, Bushnell (B&L at the time), and Leupold. In many cases, even half an ounce can be a big deal. If I were you, I'd call Leupold up and tell them exactly the situation and ask if they could weigh one. If buying the scope is determined by 2/10 of an ounce or less, you need more precision than just what some marketing guy put on the website. Leupold is responsive enough to competitive shooters to understand this where most scope companies aren't.
