I see you have included weights etc... The VX-5HD is relatively heavy, if i were to do another rifle and was conscious of scope weight i'd go for the VX-3HD
Probably the 4.5 x 14 x 40 would be my pick.

One con on mine is the parallax dial on the LH side of the scope seems to move with the slightest of touches which is a bit annoying but something i'm used to now, mine does it and a mates doesn't so its a bit random...... Have heard others have had the same issue & I talked to Leupold in the U.S and theres no adjustment to tighten or anything so it's just a quirk of some of them.

Yes, put mine on my berg xt hunter 308 and it was too bulky for my liking. Ended up with 3-10 kahles on it.
