Rifle Scopes S&B 3-12x50 vs NF NXS 5.5-22x50

[hoguer]

I currently own a Nightforce nxs 5.5-22 and have the chance to get my hands on a Bender Zenith 3-12x50. This is going to be mounted on my hunting rifle and i was wanting to know what the difference in the quality of glass? should i stick with the NF or shell out the dough and get the bender? thanks

What are you hunting and where?

If you got the cash, Schmidt&Bender all the way!!

I don't like the reticle choices on the Zenith line, so that would be a deciding factor for me. The what and where you are hunting, is probably the more important question.

Don't know what kind of hunting you do, but the NightForce is a pretty big scope to be on a hunting rifle.

if it is a "hunting" rifle I'd go S&B. if it was a "tactical" style rifle i'd stay with the NF
