What do you mean by "Lens Protection"? You mean a coating like Rain Guard on a Bushnell, or Butler Creek caps, or....???? 


Yes. Some type of option of the like.
 
 
I think you missed the "or" in Cheap's post.......  coatings OR caps?


Yes I did. I do like caps for early season wet fluffy big snow. I heard rain guard works great for rain but, not in the dust or snow??

If I had to put a scope on a fly weight rifle for hunting I would go for a fixed Leupold 6X FXII or FX3. 6X scopes really are not that bad for practical long range hunting that would be done with a 6 lb rifle.
 
Did you say what caliber your new rifle is ?, does it kick badly -- light weight scopes seem do do better on hard kickers and the 6X FXII is real light. All mechanical devices including scope sights are subject to failure and fixed power scopes have fewer parts.
 
Would blood doping disqualify a person from some sort of Boone & Crocket award? (just a joke - hunting is expensive enough). I hear you about weight - everything subject to gravity seems to be an increasing load to lug around.
