[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 812482, member: 34084"] Frankly, in this price range, I would not expect to see much difference in track accuracy or point of aim shift for these three scopes. As far as durability goes, I would give the lead to the NSX. It's pretty heavy for a 32 mm objective scope. Nightforce scopes have an excellent reputation for durability. The other two scopes actually have a much lighter construction. They are primarily hunting scopes, for which light weight is a priority. Even still, I doubt that a 30-06 is going to be a problem for either one. I would not hesitate to use either one for long range hunting. The biggest discriminators between these scopes are objective size and reticle design, which I already mentioned. Those are the differences I would focus on. The large difference in objective size means a large difference in low light performance. The magnification that gives a 5 mm exit pupil is a good indicator of low light performance. The NF scope has a 6.4x mag at a 5 mm exit pupil. The Swaro has an 8.8x mag, and the Kahles an 11.2x mag. Essentially, this means that the Kahles will be nearly twice as good as the NF in low light. The Swaro falls exactly in between. [/QUOTE]
