Behind enemy lines
Wondering if I can get some opinions. I have a line on a NF SHV 4-14 ffp brand new for 1k. I'm liking the price, but it is an older model. Does anyone have insight on comparable new glass at the same price +/- 200 bucks? Thanks guys
 
SHV were fine 15 years ago (I owned a couple), but times have changed. Vortex PST Gen II 3-15 and Viper HD 3-15 are better, for well under $1000 new shipped, especially with the coupon codes. Even the 5-25 is around $1000, and the Razor LHT isn't much more.

 
The new Vortex Viper HD scopes are way better than the SHV for $999... I would buy another one of these before buying a PST-II. The new Viper HD has more features, like a locking elevation turret (like the Razor scopes), and a capped windage. The glass is really nice for the price, too. I've had mine since they came out, and it's impressed me.


Another excellent option in that price range...

 
The shv line is not at all the same scope as their other products. Yes made in Japan, but not tested 100% like the nxs, nx8, or atacr.

I’d look at some of the other recommendations in this thread.
