Thanks for the input, I have spent a little time behind a NXS but never had hands on the SHV. I wasn't sure if it was worth spending the extra money.the turrets on the nxs will be 10x better hands down, with real zero stop, 20moa or 10mil per rev, all nxs are illuminated, better reticles for ffp or sfp, better durability. Nxs is the better optic.
man i would love to run an ATACR but im trying to get by without my wife getting to pissedNXS is the better scope, but the SHV certainly isn't junk . I've had both and use ATACR's now.
I'm trying to get something set up on my 6.5 Creedmoor, some longish range shooting with the occasional match.I think it’s all relative to what you are putting it on. The SHV is their entry level and would IMO beat out some glass but beat by others. In contrast the NXS is a step above in features, glass, etc.
If that’s the case I’d say keep an eye out for a used NXS 3-15 in the optics section. Price to quality I’d be a great way to dip your toe in.I'm trying to get something set up on my 6.5 Creedmoor, some longish range shooting with the occasional match.
That’s kinda what I’m leaning to I think. What’s a reasonable price on a used NXS? I honestly don’t know what’s a good deal or isn’t.If that’s the case I’d say keep an eye out for a used NXS 3-15 in the optics section. Price to quality I’d be a great way to dip your toe in.
Reasonable depends on use etc. I have that scope. I paid $1650.00 on a tax free weekend. I have only mounted it so it's still like new. If I were selling mine I'd want $1500. As the other guy said you can probably have them for $1200 or so but that's if it's actually used or someone is desperate to sell.That’s kinda what I’m leaning to I think.

ill probably end up forking the extra out regardless. id hate to spend 1200 on a brand new SHV, and then not be too impressed when I could've spent another 300 and got an NXS.Reasonable depends on use etc. I have that scope.

yea from what I have read they are built like a damn tank.i can tell you from personal experience the SHV passes the drop test. i had stored it in the top of my safe, it slid and fell and hit the bottom of the metal door frame. no damage and still held zero. had regretted the purchase and wanted the NXS but that made me less regret the purchase...

Watch the classifieds and you’ll find a SHV 4-14 in the $800 range. Try it, if you don’t like it, you can sell it and go up to the NXS.
Im waiting for this deal to pop up
A bit late to the party but what mechanism is used for the Zero Set in the SHV?
Looks like just bottoming out the elevation cap on the housing?
Even if you had to spend a few bucks more, I think the SHV is worth it.
If you can afford to buy a nice example of the NXS F1, they are still a good value after all these years.
