The EP5 is 34mm as well as a few other scopes they have. I think the others are 30mm. I bought a 20 MOA mount/rings set up from Arken when I bought the scope, so no issue there. It's heavy, but not any heavier than other scopes like it. My AR is around 9-10 pounds complete, which is definitely lighter than the Begara rifles my son and nephew were shooting. Theirs are 15+ pounds. I think a 16" pencil barrel with a smaller scope would be ideal for hunting out to 500-650 yards. It was pretty easy to hit 450 once dialed in, a little tougher at 650 and much harder at 1k, but so much fun. I know I keep saying this, but now, after shooting long range, I can see why people love it.
