Hi IRT,

The difference between the 2 scopes is the quality of the mounts. The second link's mount is very flimsy & will tend to tip back when the scope is pointed high up unless you over tighten the clamp, which won't do the mount any favours. The first link's mount is much more sturdy, & has slow motion controls that will allow for fine, smooth movement adjustments - a bonus when using high magnification. The second mount is much more crude in action & can be tedious to use.

The first scope would be the better choice of the two.
