Looking for a 1' scope, lightweight (13oz/inches or less), sharp, bright, up to 10x variable. Going on a Kimber Adirondack 6.5 . I have a Leupold 2.5-8X36 on it already. Anything that would be an "Upgrade"?

No, unless you're intending to dial. And I'm not aware of any dialing scopes 13oz or less.

Swaro Z3 3-9x36 or 3-10x42 Either of these is the only 2 I can think of. Of the 2, I think I would go with the 3-10x42.

I have one of these on my Mountain Ascent and couldn't be happier with it.

I wanted a Z3 3-9, but when I compared it and the Leupold 2.5-8 the Leupold was sharper and brighter for me so I went with that.

I have a FX-II 6x33 with M1 - Not weighted it, but it would likely be about 11-12 oz I would guess.

IMHO I think the scope you have on it is about a perfect fit for that rifle. So unless you plan on dialing turrets a lot, no, there is no upgrade. Just my two cents

I’m looking at the Trijicon 3-9x40 for a little model 7. I haven’t seen anything but positive reviews on them. I have no experience with one yet though.

I have the pre-Z version of the small Swaro. It ain't all that. Is the Z a big upgrade? If not then it sure isn't worth the price.

The Leupold VX3 2.5-8X36 has a German #4 and CDS(Hornady 129gr SST Superformance). Tracks fine. In that weight/size range I guess their is no sizeable up.

Old design, but most reviews mention the good glass. Looked through one years ago at the range and was impressed overall. Failures seem to be rare too. If this one works out, I’ll be thinking about more.
What fresh Hell is this?

I have a 3.X10 with BT. Razor sharp glass and the BT has returned to zero. It will get you to 500+
Reliable, light, and great optics,
Mine is on a NULA .260

This is an upgrade in glass but the scope you already have is hard to beat for the money.....Hb
