I am looking into a new scope, preferably 6-24x40-50. I am favoring a hawke 6-24 varmint simply because of the reputation of the hawke brand. I am trying to talk myself out of it just because it is $209. Criteria: preferably less than 22 oz. 6-24 magnification or similar. Quality and clarity close to the hawke. If all else fails I will just shell out the money for the hawke.
