[QUOTE="Idaho Trecker, post: 1446738, member: 67706"] I can throw in my experience with many nf nxs shv, Leupold vx5hd, and swaro x5. I agree with one of the previous posters about the Leupold glass being phenomenal these days. I have 2 vx5hd both 3-15x44 one with wind pled and other with impact 29. I love both scopes on the rifles and their intended uses. I really like the elevation turret on the Leupold; having said that if you want to go really long range you can't dial past 2 revolutions but they still gets you 40ish moa. That is still a long ways to get you out there. The weight of the Leupold is also amazing! As for the nightforce the nxs have been bombproof for me but they are also hefty at the 32oz mark. It seems they are being passed up on glass quality these days which is unfortunate. The shv have been good scopes also but I havent spent a lot of time with them yet. On to the x5. The weight is just under the nxs but it's a swaro so it doesn't even have to be said that the glass is incredible! I have the x5 5-25 with the 4wx reticle. If I had the funds I would be getting a 3-18 x5i but they are spendy. Decisions decisions! Good luck [/QUOTE]
