I have a Kimber mountain ascent Chambered in 280 ackley. Currently shoots well under half inch with 140 grn Barnes TTSX.

I currently have a new VX3HD 3.5-10x40 cdszl But I'm thinking about putting a swarovski z3 3-10x42 4a. It is a little bit lighter Then the Leopold and I don't think I want along but I want a long range dial for my lightweight rifle. Just curious what you guys would do? Would you leave it the same or would you put the Z3 on
 
Love my 280ai also.
Try working out is she's heavy.
Sqauts , dead, Jefferson, light wieght BABY.

Keep watch ya got on there , and go practice .
Both scopes are excellent.
I use a zeiss, rapid Z reitical, no dialing here. Point and shoot
 
I use the exact same scope Mike and love it. I did swap it out last year to try the Nightforce SHV and I’m back to the Z3 this year. The NF is a boat anchor and not as sharp as the Swarovski….I don’t dial so too much weight for nothing.

I love the 4A reticle….about perfect for my style of hunting
 
I like it "as is..." but I can't really be firm on that as I am always messing around with good set-ups myself.
 
I have the same rifle chambered in 6.5 CM, would love to get one of the matching scopes off kimbers online store but they dont ship to canada and everytime i have the logisitics worked out for someone down there to get one and bring it up when they come to visit the store is sold out.

Personally I'd opt for somewhat higher magnification on that rifle and more dial than the 14.5 MOA on the CDS-ZL, 3HD.

Even with a VX5HD 3-15x44 ZL2 CDS completely set up on your back ready to hunt it will still be under 7lbs.

Just curious, whats your 140 TTSX load and speed?
