I have a Winchester model 70 CRF, of course, in 243 AI that I am in the process of setting up.
My dilemma is that I have 2 NIB scopes. A Leupold VX-6HD 3-18x44 FireDot & a NightForce NXS 5-22x50 Moar-T.
I plan to use this rifle for med to long range culling, steel plinking & small game hunting using 80gr to 95gr pills out to 500-800+ yards for plinking and hunting much less.
I’d rather sell one of the 2 scopes…any opinions are appreciated.

What would you do and why.
 
I would use the leupold, x18 is more than enough to get out to 800 on coyotes and other small game plus id weights less than the NF. I like NF but would use it on a dedicated long range rig.
 
Decided to run the the trusty Leupold VX6-HD 3-18x44 FireDot with Seekins rings & Murphy Precision rail.
