Ditch my ZCO420 for the NX6 5-30??

[Ludo]

I have a 7PRC topped with a ZCO420 for my longer range hunting rifle. It’s been a great scope, but she’s hefty for a 20x scope. I’m considering selling this and getting a new NF NX6 5-30x56 to replace it. Less weight, more power, same durability. I don’t see a downside. Is this a dumb move?

What's the no-BS maximum range you take a shot on a buck at?

If you don’t see any downside, & the NF fits your requirements go for it.

I’ll always try to get within 200yds. With that said, that’s not always possible where I hunt. I want capability to 6-700yds. I always like having more power than I need though.

Why?

Serious question.

My guess is- he’s getting at the fact that the one ZCO scope tested failed the drop test. Nightforces of many types have all passed. NX6 likely, though not drop tested yet, will be an improvement in durability.
