The glass is some better on a night force in my opinion and a night force is a tough as hell scope. Not that burris,leupold or other scopes aren't good. If you are going to be putting it on a hard kicking round then I would go with a night force. I helped my awesome dad build a shop for night force. We got the scopes at a discount so I came to have a night force for my first rifle scope. Me being the not so agile person I am this poor scope has went through hell and back, round trip a few times. I have seen some of the tests he does in his shop and the night forces are a way tougher scope than leupolds, swaro, burris or any other scope he would put on the test machine. This machine would test how well the scope could take an impact. He would hardly tap the other brands and you could see them move. He then took an velvet covered mallet and beat the sh!t out of it and it still wouldn't move. This has been my expierence with them. Dont get me wrong the other scopes will shoot good to but when it comes to sheer endurance the night force takes the cake. Use night force rings, bases, and scope and you wont be disappointed in them. It will be heavy though.
