[QUOTE="br45zy, post: 1379925, member: 67266"] I have a 5-20x56 SHV and a Huskemaw and the Huskemaw 5-20x50 as well as two Nightforce 5.5-22x50 NXS G7’s and I just purchased a Leupold VX 5HD 3-15x44 for an even more compact and lighter option. I have used both the SHV and Huskemaw for hunting deer, mule deer, antelope, coyotes, prairie dogs and a lot of steel. I prefer to use Talley lightweight rings and both scopes allow me to dial to 1200 yards without having to change rings to use a canted base. I haven’t subjected them to the kind of abuse a scope would see on a mountain rifle being carried for days at a time but I don’t baby them. Neither one of them are treated with kid gloves and put up with the abuse I put them through. Here are my personal +/- of each. SHV + exposed elevation turret and capped windage turret. + zero stop that works, just not perfectly. + MOAR reticle for long range practice. - 56 mm objective forced me to use high rings and a Karsten cheek riser. - size and weight. - 10 minutes per revolution. - softer detents/clicks for elevation adjustments. Huskemaw + size and weight . + wind hold reticle for hunting. + 50 mm objective lets me use medium rings on any of my rifles regardless of barrel taper. + being able to use MOA Turret or BDC Turret. + zero stop that works just not perfectly. + 20 minutes per revolution. +/- .33 minutes per click. Doesn’t make any real world difference outside of benchrest shooting. - capped elevation turret, I’ve lost the turret cap twice so far. [/QUOTE]
