Both work well. For a 84M I would lean towards the 2.5-8x36.

Since this is the fire I will suggest something completely different. I just put a Vortex Razor HD LH 1.5-8X32 on my Montana. I like it even better than the Leopold offerings.

2.5-8 on my 7-08 and 3-9 on my .223. I like the 2.5-8's on them.

Vx3 4.5-14 but only because it was sitting orphaned when the rifle came home. Too lazy to swap it despite have a 3.5-10 and a 2.5-8 sitting loose currently.

VX-3 2.5-8x36 on both my 84M; VX-3i 3.5-10x40 on my 84L. Trying to put a VX-3 2.5-8x36 on my 8400 but need extended rings apparently.
84M and VX-3 2.5-8 are like apple pie and vanilla ice cream - about perfect.

Leupold 2.5-8x36 on my 84L .30-06.
I will put another one on my 6.5 Creedmoor Hunter or a 3.5-10x40 when it gets back from getting iron sights put on it.

The 2.5-8x36 will look a little more sleek, but, for me, the 3.5-10x40 is the cat's azz.

I have both of those on 84m's as well as FX3 6x42 ,SS 6X MQ, SS 10X MQ, I prefer the 6x42 if you know your shots will be close or the 6X MQ if you might have to reach out and touch something.

I've used 2-7x33, 4x33, 6x36, and 6x42 Leupolds on Montana's. They have 6x42's on them now and I doubt they will change.

Only have had Leupold's on my Kimber's.
On 84M's I've had:
6x36 2-7x33 2.5-8x36
On 84L's I've had:
6x36 2.5-8x36 3-9x40 3.5-10x40
For both my favorite is the 6x36 or 2.5-8x36.
For 84M only, the 2-7x33 is very nice too.
For 84L only, the 3-9x40 or 3.5-10X40 are fine. But I'm still prejudiced (some would say irrationally) to big scopes on light rifles.
