I have:

1 - Cooper Jackson Long Range 6.5x284
2 - Custom - Defiance, McMillian, CarbonSix 6 Creedmoor 22"

A - Vortex Razor HD 5-20
B - Vortex PST Gen II 5-25

Would you pair....???
1-A / 2-B
Or
1-B / 2-A
 
I'm assuming with the lightweight CF barrel on the 2nd one, that it's more of a hunting rifle... So, if that's the case, then I would have to go with:

1-B
2-A

However, if you plan on hunting with the 6.5x284 more often, then I'd put the RZR on it. Always put your better glass on your hunting guns. Targets don't tend to move and tend to have a pretty static environment, therefore super high-quality glass is not always a necessity. I have my higher-end scopes on my hunting rifles for this reason. My target rifles mostly wear Vortex HS-T 6-24x50 scopes because they're good scopes with decent glass, and are excellent for target shooting, but will also work great if hunting. But my strictly hunting rifles have Zeiss and Kahles scopes on them.

Both guns are hunting rifles. I will hunt with both but when my custom is complete, I bet I will favor that one.
