Optics and Mounts weight thread
Not sure if this interests others, but now that I got a kitchen scale that verifies correct weight, I’ve taken to checking what optics weigh in various mounts (or separately, if I thought of ahead). All have batteries installed.
Not seen in the picture is another scale that was substantially off. I confirmed this was correct using multiple coins.
