That’s actually a nice setup and one I’ve considered–to keep weight down and better handling. I’d run that VXR Patrol 3-9x with a T2 offset.
How do you like it so far, would you recommend?
I can’t say I’m a good judge, at least not yet. I can say the offset comes up quickly. The CCU upper I had this on, I went back to a RDS for my wife; it’s lighter than my BCM 12.5” like that. Got an upper in progress for these two.

Hello there guys. I recently bought new AR-15 for hunting. What lightweight rifle scope can you recommend to try? I saw several interesting models of digital scopes with night vision technology from https://www.agmglobalvision.eu/night-vision brand. Reviews are really good. What can you say about such models?
Depending on your budget I picked up a Leupold VX-6HD 1-6 from Midway on sale for $999.99. Easily the clearest piece of glass I own. Coming in at 13.4 oz, it is super light. FYI the 1-6 Razor weighs 21.5 oz.
Mr. Ritz (I just can’t) recommended what I think most say it the pinnacle (Khales). But the premium paid there is a hard pill to swallow.
If you don’t need higher magnification, the Vortex Viper PST 1-4 (AKA Ranger) and SWFA 1-4x can get you in the game.
The PST II 1-6 is just massively heavy… Since I can’t bring myself to shell out for the Khales, I do plan to try out the Leupold VX-6HD mentioned by nadnklipsch.
The mount also matters. QD (can) add weight, so don’t bother if you don’t plan to switch back and forth with a red dot.
*I didn’t double tap, but…double post
I second this recommendation. I have this same scope as well as an older VX6 1-6 and can’t recommend them highly enough.
