The RCOS or any of the big Pro RC's are built like sherman tanks and weigh about the same.
This is for exactly the reasons you mention its not critical. But they are very critical.
You cant have droop at all, and the major issue with RC's is that as you go out of collimation, the more severe/crappy the image gets. Where other scopes can take some miscollimation, the RC's need near perfect alignment.
