Looking for a scope with the features commonly found in PRS style scopes (FFP, Mil/Moa reticle, "sniper" turrets, etc.) with two very important features:

1- Needs an adjustable parallax down to a min. of 25y/m
2- Needs to be at least somewhat light

I currently have a Leupold 3-9x33 EFR which I love and is just over 12oz, and all the options I can find are in the 30+oz. Is there anything out there that is at least somewhat light? Say 20ish ounces?

March scopes fit the bill but they're pricey, the vortex LHT 4.5x22x50 is a lighter weight ffp scope as well. For a few ounces more you can buy a used Bushnell LRHS or LRTS for around a grand
 
The Vortex Razor LHT 4.5-22 is about the closest thing to what you're looking for ("crossover scope"). FFP, illuminated mil "tree" reticle, locking exposed elevation turret, capped windage, good glass, weighs 22oz. The Nightforce NX8 2.5-20 is a nice scope as well but a bit heftier (28oz) as is the Leupold Mk5 3.6-18 (26oz) but the Mk5 has a big upcharge for illum (which is pretty much necessary on a FFP scope if you plan on hunting with it or using it at lower mag). The Bushnell LRTSi or LRHS are also nice scopes but also weigh about 28oz. I have or have had all these optics except the 3.6-18 (had a few 5-25s though) and I think if weight is important, the LHT 4.5-22 is the best compromise for a crossover/lightweight PRS scope.
