[QUOTE="Memberberries, post: 1735352, member: 106647"] For quite some time I've been looking for a deal on a nightforce SHV and I happened across a smoking deal on a used Schmidt & Bender Zenith 3-12x50 non illuminated scope that came with a set of vortex precision matched rings so I jumped on it. I got the scope in the mail yesterday and shot with it today, overall I would say that it is an amazingly good optic and for the deal I got it was worth every penny. The one thing I noticed that I have never experienced before is constant mirage, all the time, mirage. All the other scopes I've ever had only showed mirage on really hot days or when my barrel got hot. Today the sun wasn't super strong but it was out and I was seeing mirage off the landscape at most of the power range. Do you think the SHV would have had good enough glass to see all the mirage at 12x or would I have needed higher power? [/QUOTE]
