Nightforce gets my vote out of those three but you didn't mention which model Nightforce. Come to think of it though, I would probably still pick any Nightforce model out of those three.

Go with your gut.

Nice rifle by the way!

Might want to check out the new nx8 line of scopes coming soon from nightforce.
2.5-20x50 and 4-32x50
Might be worth the wait

These scopes would be great on a precision bolt gun but IMO are a bit an over kill for gas gun intended for hunting and tactical use.

I have only owned Leupold out of those three and would personally choose the Nightforce.

I respectfully disagree. 2.5-20 seems like the perfect compromise for a long distance hunting rifle/ target/ tactical rifle. 2.5 is plenty low enough for hunting and 20 is good for ringing the 1000 yard gong.

Not debating the utility of the magnification range, more questioning the larger footprint and increased weight on a rifle meant to be toted and swung around. Also, 10x has been used to slap at 1000 yards for decades. But to each their own.

I would strongly agree with you especially around here for hunting southern Oregon can be pretty thick at times and having a 2.5- 20x power would illuminate the fact of a rmr red dot with a 45degree offset mount! Lol weeks later I am still trying to decide lmao I have a viper vortex pst 1-4x and use it on my home defense SBR..... always on the 1 power but have the option for x4

Not even a question, nightforce.

I totally agree. Just about any SHV would do the trick. Absolutely no need for the high dollar ATACR or even the NXS though. IMHO. You get a lot less of a return on your hard earned money. The SHV was made for hunters.. in all honesty, ALL of my ARs wear the Burris AR rifle scopes. The 556's use the AR556 and both AR10's wear the AR 762 4.5-14×42. plenty of glass for my AR rifles. They track well and return to zero like no bodies business. The glass is actually quite good and the price is exceptional.

After a certain point the money becomes more about making sure every little thing is great vs getting best bang for the dollar.
