To me, the problem shouldn’t be about weight. Weight helps you shoot better. The question is about balance. I think people need to consider balance more. I mean balance of design.

We are talking about a:
270 Win - 400-500 energy
Browning X bolt - 500 yd accuracy
8-10x - 500-600 magnification

2-4x...nice for when you need a 25 yd shot

IMO, you want a 2-8x or 3-9x....maybe a 3-12x....bdc would be nice, especially with windage and elevation hold offs. Vortex excels at this kind of reticle.
