Time to scope a couple guns! Help me decide!

[its only light]

Hey guys gotta get scopes for two guns. First is a savage 110 FCP in 338 lapua the second is a savage target action barreled for 284. Basically the type of shooting I do is prairie dog hunting. We have also started setting targets out in random spots in my buddies field and ranging them and trying to get first round hits. Kind of an informal tactical type of competition. I'm looking at these scopes:

Vortex PST 6-24 in FFP or SFP
Bushnell elite tactical 6-24 FFP with G2DMR reticle

I've looked at the PST a little but have no way of looking at the bushnell.
I'd like to hear your thoughts and am open to other suggestions. I'd like to stay in the $700 to $900 range. Other than adjustments the most important thing to me is glass quality. Both companies have great warranties and good reputations. Which is better in your opinion or is there something else in this class that beats them both. I'm not a huge fan of Mildots so it gets tricky finding many options with a mil or moa hash mark reticle.

Unless you're intending to use the reticle for ranging, I think FFP (Front Focal Plane) offers no benefit. Even if ranging is your intent, SFP reticles are simple to figure out. It's basic math. But the tacticool crowd drools over FFP scopes like pre-teen girls over Justin Bieber. :

That's why I asked. I have started using the reticle for ranging but don't have an FFP and do fine with it. How is the glass on the scopes I mentioned?

I have the Bushnell with the G2 reticle and think it is a hell of a scope for that price range. The only SFP I have in a comparable price range is a Sightron Siii with the LRMOA reticle.
My untrained eye can't tell much of a difference in optical quality between the two. I think scopes have come so far in the last dozen years or so that even these midrange scopes have glass comparable to yeterday's best.
The Bushnell looks and feels a lot tougher, but the Siii fits my application better. Both range equally well.
The Siii has finer adjustments than the mrad Bushnell and the extra magnification is a plus. In all honesty, about the only time I like the FFP over the SFP is when mirage is bad and you are dialed down.
There is a comfort factor dialing for wind with the FFP regardless of setting.

After using an s3 8-32x56 sightron,I doubt I will buy another bushnell in the same range as the sightron is a way better scope for the money.
