So getting to that time to pull a trigger on a new scope.
I can get my hands on a used Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56 F1 - Tremor3 for the same as a Minox ZP5 5-25x56 MR4.
My question is for around $3000 are these solid choices which one should I
choose or are there other choices around the same price? Thank you!

Pick the reticle you prefer between those awesome scopes IMO, I prefer the MR4 personally over the T3 and we have Minox ZP5 MR4's in stock right now :)
 
The mr4 is a lot less cluttered and I think easier to use and easier to spot impacts. I have no expiersnce with a 7-35 atacr but just sold a 5-25 with h59 which is very similar to the tremor 3. If you are shooting elr than maybe the 35 power zoom will be needed but in my opinion that is a little too much for me. I think either way you will be happy though. I got my minox mr4 from cs tactical and was thrilled with their service.

Thank you Sir! Again, let me know if you need more assistance in the future. :cool:

Both good choices. I think Minox has the best optics / glass / image resolution of any scope. I use both the NF and the Minox. We sell both. The 7-35x is a very strong seller, and the big attraction, other than going out to 35x (which I feel very few people will use) is that it focuses down to 10m. It is a better engineered scope, and more durable if you are going to war. Otherwise, the Minox wins. Like a couple others here, we also have the Minox in stock and that reticle is supurb.

As to any other scope you are missing out on around $3,000... There are some S&B 5-25 scopes, for sure around that range. I am not fond of the ones that are hundreds less. Kahles is worth consideration. Kahles and Minox have an ever slight edge on NF and S&B, in my opinion, if you are target shooting. The new Kahles 525 is awesome. We just got a very clean 624i SKM3 in today in trade that is very sweet, and bargain priced. I would not open up the gates to much more. Evaluate the used 7-35x, Minox, and Kahles, in both 525 and 624 used. If you are still undecided, we should look at S&B options.
