NX8 4-32×50 or Athlon Cronus 4.5-29?

Looking at these scopes to put on a .22ARC Ruger american I won in a raffle. Gonna be a "budget build" kinda, so any advice would be appreciated. I can get either scope for a good price on Expertvoice and GovX. The NX8 is about $600 more. Thoughts??

BTW, I got a Timney trigger and an MDT Oryx stock for it.

One holds zero, the other is an athlon.

Between those two, the Nightforce… Don’t rule out your Trijicon options since you have Guidefitter. There are some superb options there. Take a look at the 4-16x AccuPoint.
