Rifle Scopes Help me choose my next optic

I’ve got about 3k adding to my build budget to buy an optic or other accessories once my house sells. I get mil discounts and was thinking the leupold MK5 in either 5-25 or 7-35, NF ATACR 7-35, or the vortex razor gen 3. Anyone who owns all 3 or can give insight would be great as well as other recommendations! Thank you!

Edit: this is for occasional matches and recreational shooting as far as I can with the ranges around me. I’d like to try NRL Hunter someday if that matters

I haven't posted here very much, but I was recently in your position. I went with Burris, XTR Pro 5.5-30x56. I read all of the reviews and all of the internet fanboys for the current rage. On both Expert Voice and Eurooptic the Burris can be had for ~$1500. Nice glass and lifetime warranty. I'm using mine on a custom build PRS rifle.
 
I like the gen 3 in that group, it has the better glass in my eyes but the atac r 7-35 is a great optic especially with the mil xt ret. The mark5 is the cheapest and not quite as good as the first two scopes in my opinion but it’s still a good optic. The thing it has going for it is weight, which could matter in NRL hunter, the other two are heavy as shit.
