I love the etched illuminated reticle and the 1 power lets me use it like a red dot (both eyes open). When I need to reach out I can zoom up to 6X. Is there something that would work well for me that is LIGHTER than the Vortex? This heavy scope kinda defeats the semi light weight I was looking for.

I also have the Vortex Strike Eagle. I'm 72, weigh 155lbs and didn't notice much difference between my M&P Sport, with or without the scope. Stance and hold, has a lot to do with how well you shoot. Granted, it's not like shooting a Ruger 10/22, but with practice and technique, it gets better. The only problem with the Strike Eagle is holding zero. I may replace it.
