[QUOTE="Brightwhite, post: 1538946, member: 105768"] I love my 3-10 SHV, but on a bitter cold cow hunt this December it cost my an opportunity at a cow because I had to take the time to unscrew the elevation cap and it was so cold it was squeaking and making noise so I had to go slow. I hated the capped elevation then...(but did end up getting a cow) But I loved the capped feature when hunting in Kodiak and busting alders, getting your gun in and off boats/planes, etc. I never had to worry if I might have an issue. So there’s some trade off... For a compact in that weight range, I think your only option will be to upgrade to the 2.5-10 NXS. I have one of those too and it’s not necessarily a better scope, just more/different features. The trade off for zero stop is taller more intrusive turrets and exposed windage. I do like the NXS compact though. Let me know if you find something that works though! With NF adding illumination to the 3-10, and the 4-14 F1 having capped windage and a zero stop, maybe some day we will see those features all in the 3-10?...that would drive up the price, but would be a nice little scope if they could keep it at the $1k mark.
