Lightweight scope rings and scope

[T. May]

I’m putting together a new backpacking and swamp rifle for myself. I have been using a H&R/AAC single shot in .300BLK for years but wanting a bolt action. I am going to start with one of the new Howa Super Lites in 7mm-08. It’s 4lb 7oz to start with. Anyone have recommendations on a set of strong but lightweight rings and scope? I was thinking Talley rings and a Leupold 2.5x8 scope but am open to other ideas.

Vortex Razor LHT have several models I have the 4.5-22, by my scale it's 21.1 ounces hard to find a 22 power scope at 21 ounces, talley has some light weight rings

The Leupold Vari X III 2.5-8x36mm is one of my all-time favorite hunting scopes. Compact and light.

All-in-all, that’s a good setup.
