I don’t have a fraction of your hunting experience, so my opinion isn’t worth much.
I like mil reticles and FFP, so the Vortex checks those boxes. Top end magnification is excessive, but not really a downside to that unless the eye box is compromised by the zoom ratio.
When Leupold does it right, they make excellent scopes.

My Seekins is an elk rifle, and in .300 WM. For elk hunting, I prefer a second focal plane reticle, because the reticle is easier to see at the low power I walk around on, especially in lower light. To 300 yards, I don't need to dial, which covers a lot of shots.

I’m pretty jealous. Element in 300 with a 2-12 sounds pretty amazing. What rings are you using? Sling?

Thanks for the suggestions. I have another (heavier) rifle that the Nightforce (which, except for its weight, I like very much) might match better. I'll check out the lighter Leupold, Vortex and SWFA models y'all suggested.
Much appreciated!
