Looking for optic in 1k range

[TheRudeAbides]

Not new to hunting but new to nicer glass and a significantly higher price point compared to my very budget vortex crossfire II which has been fine for countless whitetail at shorter range. I'm looking to move into more longer range hunting. Last year I made the move from shooting 6.5 grendel to 6.5 prc in a tikka t3x lite. Last season two deer were harvested at about 150 yards but I'm looking this year to extend the range to 300 as well as getting into longer range target shooting around 600 to start. I had an issue two years ago with the scope getting knocked off its zero. I would like to make the move to a much more heavy duty scope in which case the NF 4-14x50 f1 and Trijicon credo 2.5x15-42 have peaked my interest on searches. I know this is comparing a ffp to a sfp scope. Weight isn't a significant issue- durability, glass quality, and value are my main interests. I would like to stay away from having to possibly use a warranty which is why I have strayed away from Vortex and Leupold. I suppose this post is asking should I consider first or second focal plane better for what i want and hope to do, and is an option like the NF outdated at this point. Both the Trijicon and NF are available to be for about the same cost. I am open to other options, but these two seem to check boxes in good glass and durability.

Either will do the job quite well. The NF reticle in FFP can be a bit hard to read at 4x.

On another platform was suggested a

Steiner H6Xi 3-18x50mm.​

Anyone have opinions on these as for what I’d like to use it for and durability?
