A conditional recommendation - NightForce SHV 5-20x56mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane

Nightforce has a reputation for rugged and reliable optics. I've only used my SHV for a couple of weeks but it holds zero and tracks well. My only complaint is the reticle, the lines are so thin they seem to disappear when you lock onto your target. My advise for anyone looking into this scope would be to get the illuminated reticle, that should solve the problem. Unfortunately for me I'm stuck with a thousand $$$ dollar scope that is not up to par with my Leupold & Vortex scopes. I'm not saying this scope isn't going to work for someone else but for me if had a do over I would. Nothing against the quality of this scope, the glass and build quality all seem to be excellent, the reticle is the only issue I have with this scope. If the reticle is good for you this scope should serve you well.
