[QUOTE="BCC72, post: 2990069, member: 125695"] I have both. I also have both in the Tremor3. I would not recommend either with that reticle if you intend to use at low power much. I love the 4-32x50 NX8 with MOAR reticle the most even though I will probaby use 32x mostly on the range. I have that scope both in FFP and SFP. It's basically the same weight as the 2.5-20. Honestly, the 2.5-20 I would call more a 4-17.... If it's going to get knocked around, go the NF. Also less chromatic aberration in the NF. Weight wise, the Mk5 is lighter and more compact (by quite a bit). If the gun stays close to home mostly, it's good to go. While I haven't had any issue with my MK5 yet, they have been quite a few reports on loss of zero. I'll throw a few more in the mix for you, the Burris XTR3 3.3-18x50 SCR and the March scopes. I've beaten the crap out of both of those. Steiner T6Xi (but heavy) or the Steiner Predator 8 (reticle is pretty average though). I am considering a new Maven to try but it's hard to change. [/QUOTE]
