I ended up with mark 4 because I got a great deal on it. Which nf are you looking into? I think the 5-25 is the atacr? I haven't handled or used one of those but I think they are big and heavy which may not matter to you. Decide what you want in a gun before choosing glass. Guns can get heavy quick. I learned that with my 300 rum that now tips the scales at 14+ lb.
with this 6.5-284 I wanted a more pack able gun and am right at 10-10.3 lb.
I don't think you can go wrong with a top shelf scope wether it be from Leupold, vortex, nf, or other brands. All in what you want also. Is zero stop a must? Etc.

If you do not have experience mounting that heavy of a scope on a rifle with a lot of potential for severe recoil...... be sure to research what it takes to keep it lfrom slipping in the rings.

If you're not familiar, do a little research on the Sightron SIII. A few years ago, after owning my first couple Sightrons I sold my 6 or 7 Nightforces and replaced them with SIIIs. IMO you get 97% of the performance for ~50% of the cost. Excellent glass, excellent tracking, and a GREAT value. I'm a big fan of the LRMOA reticle. :twocents:

You could also look at the SWFA:

Like torquing them to proper specs?
Just follow the directions on the package and you'll be fine.
