A used Aimpoint Comp M2/ML2 is reasonably affordable (~ $300 w/ mount) and should come in at under 8 ounces. The only disadvantage compared to more modern fullsized Aimpoints that battery life is rated for only a year of continuous operation vs 5-7 years for current models. I run a T1 (< 4 ounces with mount) on my lightweight AR, but that's quite a bit more expensive.


 
 
I was looking at the Burris Fastfire because it only weghs 2 oz,  would fit with the lightweight theme of this rifle.

That is an amazing gun collection, wow.
 
Anyway, I love guns. I fired my first pistol (some Glock 9mm) about two years ago then I knew firearms were something I liked. Since then I have fired a .22 rifle, a S&W .38 Special, a 16 gauge shotgun, an MP5SD, an AR15, and my favorite: the M1911. 
I am only 15 at the moment and my parents don't own firearms, but luckily I have an uncle and grandfather that are into that sorta thing. Seems like an expensive hobby though...

Very nice pictures in this thread. I have a .22 rifle my father and his brother learned to shoot with. I Also have two pistols: Glock 34 (9 mm) and a Sig P229 (40 mm). Both with night sights. This thread makes me want to go to the range!

My dad just bought a Springfield Loaded 1911-A1 in .45. I've shot a decent amount of guns but this one shoots amazingly well and feels effortless. It's really an incredible gun. I can't wait to go back to the range this weekend to relieve some exam-related stress.
 
I'll have to post a picture of the guns in the family collection.

I've been slowly putting together an AR over the past year and am just about finished. 6 lbs 4.6 oz as pictured. Could have probably gotten under my 6 lb target weight if I had gone carbine instead of midlength gas and lost the rail covers, but hey, close enough. I'll probably top it off with a T1 or a TA33 at some point, but right now, all I want is a free weekend to get some range time.

And on to something sort of gun related:
 

 
This is a shotgun stock that cracked and was no longer suitable for its original purpose.  It was too nice to throw away though, so I got a nice lamp out of the deal.  Don't ask what the stock cost, originally, though.

They didn't have any at the range I went to.
