What lightweight optic for a Pierce Titanium 280 Ackley?

[Darryle]

Rifle in question is 6 1/4lbs and came with a set of Talley Lightweight mounts in silver as well as the picatinny rail.

Now, I have a couple of Swarovski Z6 3 - 18 x 50mm BT @ 21oz and I have a Swarovski Z6 2.5 - 15 x 56mm BT BRH at 22.4oz.

I don't think either of these are a bad choice optically, I just think they are too bulky for this rifle.

I have found a couple of Swarovski 42mm and 44mm scopes in the 17oz to a hair under 20oz range which I think would be more astetic. Specifically the Z6 1.7 - 10 x 42mm BRH at 16.6oz.

So, what does the peanut gallery think about my choices? Is there a better option? The only requirement I have is I want a 30mm tube and no Vortex.

I have been wanting to try a March, just need to pick thru their reticle offerings.

Thanks for taking the time to help with this!

I like Swarovski for lite weight and clarity, good luck finding something else.
