I was in the same position last year. There are virtually no scopes that are light weight and have a decent range of magnification. Ended up going with the 3.5-10x40cds even though it wasn't the lightest because its a little more versatile then the likes of a 2.5-8. I haven't actually worked out a drop chart for it but found after putting it on my rifle I only have 52 clicks left in the elevation turret, this is good because it means I won't be able to get lost when dialling, and is still plenty of adjustment for any range i will shoot.
