Default Proper balance between scope and rifle

I notice a trend and maybe some of you out there do as well. It is to mismatch rifles and riflescopes. A good example is a guy I know that has a model 7(6mm) and a 700 mountain rifle(7-08) and he has Leupold 3.5-10x50's on them. I can't argue with his success since he has killed massive bucks on his property with this combo. Too me the scope is ok but it should have been put on a fullsize rifle.t I am not sure he could not have been better served with a better balanced scope combination. If your going to build or buy a lightweight rifle why would you want a scope that weighs say more then 13 ounces on it and conversely put a ultralight scope on a fullsize rifle? Any opinions?
