[QUOTE="majohnson, post: 1211839, member: 45209"] Using a SHV F1 I have no problem shooting out 1000yds. I'm currently have a 338Lapua built for ELR shooting. I pick up a Nightforce NXS 8-32x56 to use on it, thinking I may not always be able to use that much magnification every time. But on the days when I can dial up it will be nice to have that much glass. I was out on Thursday shooting in high 80's and had no problem dialing it to full power all though it was only to 550yds. Shooting 6" steel target it nice not having a FFP that ends up covering a lot of the target. I was playing with it and a 6" disc gets really big at 32x even at that distance. My shooting is done at known distances so there is no real disadvantage to using a SFP scope. Even if I do need to measure something, it just a matter of turning the power to 22 and I an set to measure. The NXS can be pick up used for not much more then what your budget is. The scope will take a lot of abuse and keep on providing reliable operation. A lot of guys even though they don't shoot much, still swap out scope when the new scope out. [/QUOTE]
