[QUOTE="SteveBurton, post: 1027528, member: 59541"] I do not have any experience with the Huskemaw scopes so I cannot comment on them. They looked good on display at a couple of shows I went to. I don't know if the 1/3 MOA clicks are better or not. Every scope I have is 1/4 MOA and I'm not a fan of the reticles so I have been hesitant to try one. I do like how easy it is to set the zero stop and the price point. I do have a NF NXS 5.5-22x50 on my 6.5x284 and I love it for long range work. It is a bit heavy and the lower magnification is too high for walking in thick woods where shots are typically under 150 yards but that isn't what it was designed for. The price point is also high. The SHV looks like a nice scope. I just wish they made a 4-16x44 with a zero stop. I think that would be perfect for a carry rifle. I prefer the MOAR available from NF more than the reticles offered on the other brands. I also have a Vortex 4-16x44 HS-T and it is a nice scope. I find that the cross-hairs can get lost in low light situations as they are very fine but for $500, it can't be beat. You could step up to the PS-T and get an illuminated reticle. Of course the price almost doubles also. I'm not a big fan of illuminated reticles but that's my personal preference. The shims for the zero stop are nice but I don't like them as much as my NF zero stop. Their scopes go from a 4-16 to a 6-24 magnification. They don't make a 5-20 which seems to be the niche these days. You just have to figure out what your rifle will be used for. Are you stationary or moving? What game are you hunting or are you just target shooting? What terrain are you hunting and what distance will shots present themselves? What is your budget? Any of the three brands you mentioned will do you right as they are quality scopes. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
