Rifle Scopes ATACR worth the premium over a MK5?

I have a 3-18 MK5 and a 4-16 ATACR but am looking to pick up a 5-25. Itll cost me about a grand more to go ATACR. Low light performance is of upmost concern as itll be used for hunting and behind a CNVDLR clip-on. Reticle choice between the PRS2 and MilXT isnt a concern and in my opinion durability is plenty good with the mk5.
 
I think you have your answer. I think i agree. MK 5 unless you want to spend more.
 
I don't think you will be disappointed with the Mk5 -- Especially if you like the 3-18 you already have.
 
The mk5 5-25 does better than the 3-18. Better control over the light and image in the longer scope body.


Only reason to buy an atacr is if you stumble on a used one or just think you need it.
