Primary Arms 8.5 oz listed weight for their micro prism is misleading as it does not include mount. I put my 5x micro w/piggy back mount & PA mini reflex red dot on the scale...1 lb! No thanks, I'll just go LPVO.

I am hoping there are some light(er) weight options out there.

No red dots (Unless the dot + magnifier is still light). Magnification is a must have. I have astigmatism FWIW.
