Any recommendations for lightweight scopes?

[Anangrypasta]

I'm making my own WWSD AR and am now looking for an optic! I've put together a 20" 224 valk that weighs right at 6.7 pounds with a 20 round mag. Anyone had scope recommendations that weight less than a pound with mounts? Half a pound for the scope alone is the goal. Lightest I've found under $700 was a Leupold AR type scope that was at 8oz, but the magnification was a bit less than I'd like (I think it maxed out at 2.5x; normally thatd be fine, but this I hope will be a 700 yard rifle lol)

Any input appreciated, thanks!

leupold has the mark ar mod 1 series. Very clear scopes. I had the the 1.5-4x20 model. Could hit 700 yard silhouette steel no problem. And it weighed 10oz or less

Probably what I'm gonna go with! Apparently the 2.5x20 only weighs about 6oz, but they seem hard to find in shops in town. The 4x is heavier but easier to find locally.

There is always Midway or Amazon. Yes, I like to support local stores, but I want what I want, and when they don't have it, I order.

A very good point! Would of probably ordered that 2.5x20 already, but Midway makes you wait 5 days between ammo purchases. And they've had some basic practice 224 that I've been buying up...
