Light scope

[ShadowSteel]

Hey, So I have a 1377 with a 14 in barrel and a stock on it. I just upgraded to the steel receiver. I bought the 4x Crosman scope, it was cheap, light, and nostalgic. In getting it mounted and getting ready to zero I have found that both the brightness and field of view are severely lacking.

I want to keep things a light as I can. I weighed it with the Crosman scope last night and it was only 3lb 6oz. I do have a 3-9x40 that I could steal off another air rifle, but it weights in at over 1lb by itself and I cannot justify a 33% weight increase.

What are some good scope options. Light weight is most important, but clear bright glass and a good field of view are important too. I do not need an adjustable objective/parallax

The Winchester 2-7x32 AO scope seems to be quite popular for those wanting to save money.

It is an AO though, and for your use, it's actually a + 

Oh, I have no idea of the weight, but its little brother is about 16oz:

Winchester 2-7x32 AO scope is 1.2 pounds

I decided on getting thisPinty Red Green Reflex Rifle Scope Dot Sight with 4 Different Reticles:

No magnification but is 0.35 pounds (160 grams) and tremendous eye relief.

Found this NCstar 4x20 on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000R4HSW2?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title.  It is still 4x  but going from a 15 to a 20mm objective is 33% more objective lens and it should let in some more light. It was fairly cheap at $13, comes with 20mm bases, and has a listed weight of 3.35oz.

Also, on my 1377 at about 7yds i am shooting about 1.5in low and I am out of adjustment. Its pouring rain outside so I can go out to stretch the distance. What distance do you commonly zero these at? I was thinking 20 or 25yds?

If you go to walmart next to that small $10 scope is a $16 scope in a box that looks identical, it's MUCH nicer in it's got adjustable magnification and the forward lens is as big as the rear so much more light...

Most of the weights listed online are the shipping weights not the scope weights... I usually just wing it and buy cheap scopes that have good ratings.
