Howdy all,
Getting a 7mm Allen mag built and thinking about putting this on top would like to hear any pro's and cons. Gonna get c535 moar illuminated reticle. Thx

I'm running the same on my 6mm AI and am happy with it so far.

As a hunter, my biggest complaint about the turrets on most Nightforce scopes is that there's nothing to keep them from turning when they rub against a pack or a saddle scabbard.

SOCOM does not seem to think that is a problem with their new NF scopes. Not an issue so far for me either in long distance or hunting. I know where the zeros are and never noticed any changes.

Its a great scope for the money.They have a capped wind-age knob or you can run it open. I keep mine covered so it wont get turned and the moar reticle has sub-tensions for holding any wind-age

I had one a few years ago, great scope and I recommend them to everyone I know that wants NF quality on a budget.

Thx for all the replies, got one in order

To solve the issue of turrets moving use a scope coat. I do this in scabbards and packs

I have one and love it. However, I run it on a lighter kicking rifle bc of the eye relief. There are other options with longer eye relief if that is a concern

I love my 4-14 SHV, but it's on a range gun. I think the glass on my VX5HD is better and the turret locks at zero. Reticle options are different, however. The weight on my 4-14 is in the area of 30 ounces, VX5HD comes in around 20. Might matter to you, might not, but the SHV aren't light by any stretch.
