I love my Athlon Optics Talos BTR 4-14×44 FFP scope and highly recommend it (but I am admittedly a relative novice)… However at 23.5 oz it may or may not fit your definition of light.

It is slightly heavier at 29.6oz. The price is in the same range as the sidewinder.

I know the Omega SC has an auto-bleed system. Is a moisture filter really needed if you make the auto-bleed more frequent and for slightly longer? How many of you out there with Omega’s have moisture…Read more

I find that I prefer the FFP scopes. Unfortunately, it is on backorder so I won’t get the scope for 5 weeks or so. :sadn:
