I am a little partial as to the fact that I just recently purchased both, and I don't know how far you plan to shoot, but I recently purchased a NF SHV 3-10X42 for a 280 AI and a Weaver Tactical 3-15x50 for a CTR 6.5 creedmoor. The key that sold me on both of these for my purpose in order of importance was - 1. Reliable tracking and return to zero 2. Robustness and quality of Construction, 3. optics.
