Rifle Scopes 2.5-20x50 NX8 or 4-16x42 ATACR for 18” DMR

I keep the ATACR on my 18" AR. The improved glass, locking turrets, and increased depth of field make it better for the matches I've shot with it.

I also have a 2.5-20x. I rarely use it below 4x in the daytime. Low light + illumination make the reticle a big red crosshair, so it works better at 2.5x then.
Ya. The low end of any scope is pretty useless to me. I shoot most matches and hunting situations between 12-20x.
