Rifle Scopes Close to scoping up my TRG .300 WM, can you help?

This is <span style="text-decoration: underline">primarily</span> a beanfield hunting rig, that I will occasionally use for target shooting. Shots should be no longer than 700ish yards.

I have narrowed down my scopes to these 2 (disregard reticles right now):

Zeiss Diavari Victory FL T 4-15x50

Swarovski Z6 BT 3-18x50

Both have turrets, and close in price. Can you help me decide on the better scope for hunting? Not sure if I am going to like the Swarovoski turret with the colored arrow thingys.

Be kind. I have been hunting over 35 years with classic sporting rifles, but wanted to get into a new arena to keep the challenges coming. Thanks.

Both are fine scopes. Are there better for the money? Possibly. In that price range, my choice would be a NF 3.5-15x50.

I realize, however, that you didn't ask about other brands so my choice would be the Zeiss.

Either probably.

Have you looked at the Schmidt and bender zenith? Similar price, just a bit more rugged.

Or a nightforce f1. But there's plenty to choose from there. The swaro's don't always track as marked, so be a bit wary.
