[QUOTE="NomadPilot, post: 338859, member: 19896"] I went through this earlier and I'll tell you why I chose NF. I was debating the Mark 4 4.5-14 or NXS 3.5-15. [LIST] [*]Magnification range was close enough to not matter to me [*]Wanted reticle to match turrets. Leupold only offers 0.05 mrad adjustments. I felt like 0.1 mrad was a good compromise and didn't want to go any smaller. I also would not want 1/8 MOA clicks. [*]Leupold has a reputation for quality scopes and outstanding service, and I've experienced the quality service once. [*]NF has a reputation for a bulletproof scope. I didn't read a lot about their service, but what I read was all good. [*]Nightforce is heavier and bigger. Smaller would have been nice, but wasn't a deciding factor [*]NF reticles are all illuminated - extra option on Leupold [*]Of the ones I compared, the NF has about 10 MOA more adjustment. I didn't compare the range on your two models [*]Leupold was cheaper, which may not be your case [/LIST] In the end I chose NF for their reputation for quality and ruggedness, the 0.1 mrad clicks, and the lighted reticle. The Leupold TMR reticle is more similar to the MLR than MilDot, and it's available on the 8.5-25. You might look at the 50mm 5.5-22 instead of the 56mm. You could keep it a little closer to the bore and I don't think lose anything. Good luck! [url]http://www.snipercountry.com/articles/mildot_moa.asp[/url] [/QUOTE]
