Can't decide which scope/rifle combo I have makes the most sense

[Scooter1942]

Yet another question...I'm going down the rabbit hole as of late and would appreciate your perspectives.

I have two rifles and two scopes...and I'm weighing which scope makes the most sense for the rifles in question. Neither will be used for hunting. Both for shooting paper and steel. So here goes...

Rifle #1: LMT MWS, SSR-E trigger, 20" Stainless 6.5CM
-Gets 2592 fps with 147 ELD-M. Subsonic at about 1400 yards
-Historically a 1 MOA gun with the .308 barrel. Don't have enough time behind the 6.5CM to say, but certainly no worse.
-Used to wear an early USO 1.8-10x42 FFP Mil illuminated. Heavy, but low profile. Now mounted on a 20" M40ish .308 build but could always slap it back on and put the NXS on the M40 thing.

Rifle #2: Tikka T3X TACT A1, 24" Stainless .308
-No velocities recorded yet, but probably 2650 fps with 175 SMK. Subsonic at about 1025 yards.
-Printed a 5 shot .57" group with 168 SMK, but first and only time behind the rifle.
-First outing it wore a NXS 3.5-15x50.

Scope #1: Nightforce NXS 3.5-15x50, MOAR, SFP

Scope #2: Nightforce ATACR 5-25x56, MOAR, SFP

Given the effective ranges of the particular cartridges, the physical size/weight of the two platforms and the two scopes (to include height over rail), magnification range and any other variables I'm not considering...which scope would you mount to which rifle and why?

Sell both and buy a 20th century optic in mils and FFP.

Eventually I'll buy a 21st century optic.

Sell both and buy a 20th century optic in mils and FFP.

Not going to disagree with you there, but I thought the answer was funny.

OP: Might as well keep your scopes to where they are at if you do plan on upgrading at some point. All you'll end up doing if you start playing musical scopes is burn more ammo zeroing and verifying. I've been down that path before.

For targets and steel, a FFP is going to be easier to get behind IMO.

Rifle 1, Scope 1

Rifle 2, Scope 2

I actually would flip flop that.
Rifle 1 scope 2
Rifle 2 scope 1

That 6.5 with a 5-25 will jam out. I would as suggested though sell that thing and buy the exact same scope in mills. MOA Sucks!
