Looking for some opinions on these two scopes. With the mil discount they are pretty close in price with the TMR reticle. Whichever I get will sit on my M24 that I will one day start shooting F-class with. Just looking at the specs and not having handled either the 3-18 is smaller and lighter and can double as a DMR optic on my SCAR 17s too, the 6.5-20 is larger and heavier but has what looks like a nicer turret, an ever so slight mag advantage, and more internal adjustment.

Also, since like everyone I have a little bit of scope ADD, I have been eying the Mk8 3.5-25 as well but by the time I save that much I could get a NF ATACR which is very appealing to me as well.

Thoughts?
