If I can't see it I can't hit it. I have a 2.5x-25x-42 March that I will put on my 309.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Only downside is NF has less eye relief from my understanding.

I think at that price point I’d look at tract as well
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

I think at that price point I’d look at tract as well I have both Nightforce NXS as well as the SHV. I also have a Tract Toric. From a glass perspective, Tract has the Nightforce beat. The only issue I had with eye relief was with the Nightforce SHV 4-14x50F1. It has a straight 3.1" eye relief across the board. To contrast, the Tract Toric has 3.9" of eye relief across the board.

I use NXS in the 2.5-10 (42 and 32), SHV's in the 3-10, and the Tract Toric 2-10. I do think the glass in the Toric is a little better and the eye relief is certainly better. None of that is a cut on the Nightforce scopes.....the Toric just has some really nice user characteristics for a hunting scope.

Recently bought 2 Zeiss Conquest HD 4 2X10X42 those are the 2 brightest scopes I have ever owned. Now to see if they hold up. One is on a 270 Win Vanguard Stainless S2 and the other is on
a 7mm Mag Vanguard Stainless S2. Very happy with them so far. But there are many other fine scopes out there, I have used Nikon, Leupold and Burris in the past. None have ever had to be returned to
Manufacture. I have a scope I bought in 1980 I think it is a Leupold VX III in 2.5X8X36 That scope has been on almost ever rifle I own, can not say enough good things about it. About as perfect hunting scope as you can get.
