[QUOTE="Hondo64d, post: 1454669, member: 1390"] Ok, I put the SHV F1 on my scope tester and ran it up and down the tracking board a bunch. Bottom line is at 10 mils, it moves 10.1 mils, a 1% error. It tracks perfectly vertical with no horizontal shift during elevation adjustments. Return to zero is perfect throughout the full range of travel. Put it on my rifle and zeroed it. It has 18.3 mils of elevation remaining after zero with a 20 MOA rail. The zero set feature is super easy to use and effective. Mine alligns perfectly allowing no movement below zero. I have read from several users that it will allow you to go .2 to .3 mils below zero. Mine does not, but in any case, it works well. The glass is a big step up over the 10x SS and somewhat better than the 10x HD. I’d put image quality right there with the LRHS and LRTS, which is a pretty darn good place to be. As a comparison, I also put my 10x side focus SS on the scope checker and it is .3 mils off at 10 mils, a 3% error. Return to zero was perfect throughout the range of travel. It tracks perfectly vertical with no horizontal shift during elevation adjustments. The clicks are not as firm or positive as the NF, allowing a little movement between clicks. The reticle appears to be a little finer than the NF making it a little more difficult to see against a dark background. The SS side focus has little resistance to movement, too little really. Both scopes are well worth the $. Is the SHV F1 $800 better than the 10x side focus SS? let’s just say, I’ll likely keep both with the SS being my spare. John [/QUOTE]
