Can of worms here.
First to cost ... and these are only my musings
NightForce and Leupold Competion scopes are close enough in price as to not bother about it IMHO the weight issue is a different thing though, I disagree that a NF is to big for a rimfire.
You can comfortably use a Weaver T 36 out to 200 for rimfire Fly and they are good enough to do the job.
March are very good but like all scopes they are not for everyone. In my experience some scopes just dont work as well for my eyes and can cause headaches .. so test a March before you lash out (that advice applies to any brand you haven't used)
So whats the more important consideration ... cost or weight ???? That will decide much then add any "I want factor"
If it was me I would probably end up with a NF or a Weaver weight/cost considerations draw clear lines here.
