[QUOTE="Another Casual, post: 1759059, member: 89878"] Somewhat relevant experience here. I have the nightforce SHV on my target gun and the VX5HD on my hunting rifle. I prefer the glass on the VX5 in pretty much all lighting conditions and it tracks well in my experience. SHV had the the better reticle, although I find myself dialing more than holding. The turrets are great, lock at zero but easy to spin when it's time. That being said, if the rest of the rifle has heavy components (barrel, stock, etc) cutting from the scope won't necessarily give you a light gun, just a lighter gun. Food for thought. As an aside, other than the zoom ration and the 6 including the lens caps, I didn't see much reason to go for the 6. I got my 3-15 VX5HD for around $700. If you can swing that and keep the NF, best of both worlds. Then when you breakdown and build a lighter rifle overall you've already got a great scope for it. I've got a 26" #2 barrel and manners eh6 and I'm sitting at 8 pounds ready to hunt and I love it. [/QUOTE]
