[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1174025, member: 8873"] This +1. If you have $1500 and don't want to compromise then don't. I've purchased two NXS' off this site for less than that; one with Nightforce rings, HS turret and ZS. If you are spoiled with the NXS you may be disappointed with the SHV line. I used one for the first time a couple days ago and was not impressed, especially since it was being used right next to my NXS's. The glass was decent (not great) but the turrets felt cheap, kinda like an old Nikon 4-14 buckmaster. For a $1000 scope I was not impressed. There was a VX-6 on a .300 I was shooting and, even though I'm not a Leupold fan, I liked it more than the SHV. But then again I like my Weaver Super Slam more than the SHV so it may not be saying much. There was also a Bushnell 6-24 tactical on another .300 and I liked it more than the SHV. I don't know the weights of these optics, if that's a factor. The MOAR in the SHV was nice however. [/QUOTE]
