What do you make of the bushnell xrs G2 4.5-30x50mm vs nightforce mildot 8-32 x 56 ? i have the nightforce and im wondering if i was to switch scopes would it be an upgrade or a downgrade? i have the bushnell 3.5-22 and i really like it.
 
Depends on your shooting needs. But for me it would be an upgrade for the ffp alone. If you like the 3-21 you'll love the xrs..the 10mil turrets and zero stop are nice. Plus its nice to have multiple setups running the same reticle. I like the xrs power range to, I rarely crank it to full power but when I'm running 20x + the eyebox is still good. While if you were running an optic that maxed out at 20x the eyebox would be tighter.
 
The issue, if any, with the higher power scope is mirage, that which has been my limiting factor at distances even as short as 100yds. I doubt I would trade but would consider it for the next scope for another rifle.
