The NightForce SHV 5-2-x56 illuminated is an excellent 2nd focal plane choice for medium to longer range shots. At 20 power the MOAR reticle can be used as an range finder. This scope is mounted on a Bergara HMR 6.5 Creedmore and operated flawlessly at all powers and ranges out to 300 yards so far. Elevation and wind erector adjustments are accurate and return to zero. Glass is beyond clear for a scope within this price range. The 56 mm objective collects light in very bright sun and dusk/dawn conditions with no distortion. Edge to edge is clear. The illuminated reticle is center cross hair only. The illumination does wash out onto the adjoining hash marks somewhat but not a game changer. I have a NightForce NXS illuminated so don't expect that type of complete reticle illumination. I would highly recommend this scope. I have ordered and received another one these scopes except in a non-illuminated model so that should tell all!
