Leupold 4x33 is 9.5 oz with a standard 7/8” target elevation knob installed. Add the alumina flip caps and it’s 10.5 oz total. I collected drop data to 550 yrds recently and holding on a 10” gong at 550 was no problem. Wouldn’t be my first choice as a gopher scope but coyotes and larger to 600 yrds it will do. The rule of thumbs of 1x magnification for every 100 yrds is a pretty good one for both coyotes on up or steel.
A fixed 6 would be a great choice too. The Leupold 6x36 runs a half ounce heavier.
