I am in the market for an optic to mount on my Seekins Havak element chambered in .300 win mag. The two that I am considering for my applications are the Vortex Razor HD LHT 3-15x42 and the NF ATACR 4-16x50 (SFP).
The optic will be used 80% of the time hunting in the mountains of northern and central PA, with the occasional trip out west for elk and muleys.
My biggest dilemma is that I like the price point ( have discounts for both companies, though) and weight of the razor lht but I am concerned with the durability and quality vs. the NF. Likewise, I find the NF MIL-R reticle more appealing. Both optics are second focal plane as I find that more appealing for my broad range of hunting scenarios. But I am also interested in the warranty between NF and Vortex since I've eaten shit a time or two with my optics (hence the durability). Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your input and opinions.
TLDR:
Razor lht is much lighter and cheaper but is it better or just as durable as the ATACR 4-16?
