Lightest scope with a 'tree' reticle and 25-30x top end, that isn't a POC

[FromMyColdDeadHand]

Bored. Looking to put together a really light rifle, mainly just because I've tended to over do rifles and make them beasts. Getting a Howa mini action to play with and was wondering about a light scope for it. Don't really care about the cool factor, just looking for a solid scope with a tree reticle and hopefully a 25x high end. I'm used to Premiers and Vortex Razors, but not looking for something that beefy. If going to 15-20x would give me a lot more options, I'd like to hear it. Don't have a weight target in mind, just wondering with out the ability to finger-fondle a bunch of scopes in person.

THX.

I've owned two 1 inch tube Leupold VX-3's with the "Varmint" reticle. One was 4.5x14 and the other is 6x24.

I've since gotten rid of the 4.5 but both were nimbly bimbly. Might be worth the look as they aren't expensive or heavy and the reticle is very usable.

The 4.5x did have a better gross target ranging setup than the 6x.

ZOnks. That's it, but was looking to spend less than that. Something between what you two mentioned, but forgot to add FFP.

What sort of price range are you wanting to stay within? Under $1500, under $1000?

I have a vortex diamondback tactical 6-24 and it gets cloudy over 20x and just picked up a strike eagle 5-25 and it's pretty great but the top end is so so. It'll be rare to be in the top end of the mag range.
