Switching from Nightforce and Bushnell to Sightron

[RangerPark]

I'm currently running the following scopes:
Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56, MOA Turrets, MOAR-T Reticle, Illuminated, Zero Stop.
Bushnell 6500 Elite Tactical, 4.5-30x50, MOA Turrets, Mil Reticle.

I'm thinking of selling both scopes and going with the Sightron SIII line, more specifically:
SIII SS 6-24X50 LR IR MOA-H (Or MOA2)
SIII SS 8-32X56 LR IR MOA-H (Or MOA2)

Scopes will be used on a .308 and .223, mainly for target and varmint shooting.

I've read just about every Sightron article and review around and they seem like highly rated scopes. I'm looking for feedback from fellow Nuts who have had experience with all scopes involved. I'm particularly interested in feedback from people who switched from Nightforce to Sightron and vice versa. Any feedback from folks with Bushnell and Sightron scopes is also very much welcome.

With the Nightforce, I can see .223 holes in the target all the way to 300 meters. With the Bushnell I can do .308 but .223 is harder to make out. Anyone can comment on Sightron for doing the same thing?

Fire away with your thoughts and recommendations!

I have been using a S3 6-26 LRMOA for around a year now. In terms of the glass I am quite happy with it though admittedly I'm not super experienced with nicer scopes. My main complaint about it is the turrets and more specifically the turret zeroing system. It will not be nearly as crisp as your NF for sure. I have some wiggle in the clicks. To zero the turrets there is just the one bolt through the top of the cap. You have to hold it in place and tighten the bolt up. If you aren't careful it's not hard to turn your turret mechanism a click or two while your cap stays in the same place making your zero off. Personally I'm looking to upgrade to an XTR II to get away from this issue.

Update: I was handling my friends NF NXS yesterday to contrast the feel of the turrets to my S3 and to a XTR 2 I was handling at a shop yesterday. I'm thinking its because of the greater elevation per turn on the NXS but the clicks on my S3 are much more noticeable. Overall comparing the turret feel I prefer the S3 but having a zero stop would be nice and the zeroing system of the NF is much better.
