Sightron SIII 8-32X56 or 10-50X60 for 600--1000yrd F-Class?

I am in the middle of a F-Class rifle build. Need input on which of these two scopes I should top the rifle with. I DO NOT want a NF. I will be shooting mostly 600yrd, but also 1000yrd.
Thanks,
 
Just received shipment of my Sightron S3 8x32x56mm 1/8 target dot. Its optic's are awesome. I new I made the right choice. It even came with flip up lens covers. .... I've heard there are a few bugs in the 10x50x60 scope. the adjustments felt mushy ,on mine they are" Rock Solid". Mine has the 1/8th MOA Target dot. I will say that dot is little smaller then I thought it would be. But I'm sure I'll have a great image out to 1,000 yds + on a printed target or a varmint. Also they have a 1/8th MOA adjustment coming out. But won't be shipped until mid June. I have the 1/4 adjustment. . So thumbs up on the 8x32x56mm 1/8th target dot
 
I shoot benchrest @ 600/1000 and just bought a 10-50 and wouldn`t change a thing. I have used B&L 36x, and have a Leupy 40x. The 10-50 rules!!
 
I have the SIII 8x32x56 on my FTR rifle. And
The 10x50x60 on my open gun. Love them glass is great
Clicks are true!! I sent my NF12x42BR back because the
Glass was just as good if not better. And did I mention a hell of
Alot cheaper!!

The attached image is one of my two 10-50 Sightrons mounted on my Savage F-TR rifle. 32X is adequate for most situations except when the conditions are favorable and you can use the extra magnification. That is especially true at 1000. This one has served me well in several State, Regional and National tournaments as well as our local matches at Camp Pendleton. I also own two Nightforce scopes and several Leupold, Weaver, etc. I won't debate the relative merits except to say that the 10-50 meets my needs for this application.

SleepyGator--thats a nice rifle.

I ended up with the 10X50, simply because I figured I can always turn the power down, but on the 8X32 I can't go up! With any luck in a month or two I can post pics of the rifle in it's completed form.....
