Thanks for all the feedback. I'm takin a hard look at the Zeiss hd5 and Nightforce shv.

[wildwoody]

Zeiss hd5 25power just put one on my 300ultra. Cabela's has them on sale for $779.00 down from $1299.00

One thing that might be noteworthy is the HD 5 has exposed lockable turrets where as far as I know the shv turrets are not exposed. That might not be that big of a deal but a preference of mine is exposed lockable turrets.

Out of curiosity, why the need for lockable turrets?

[cjl2010]

I guess I rely on my zero stop to make sure I know where I'm at. Locking would be cool too.

 

I guess windage would be a good one to have lockable if you had an exposed turret

So I'm about to pull the trigger on the Nightforce shv F1 4-14x50 with the MOAR but before I do I would love to hear from anyone who has used this reticle/scope. Also would like to know what base and rings to get for the setup. I want quality over anything. Don't want to be dealing with any problems later. Scope will be on a Tikka TX3 lite in 7mm-08.Thanks in advance.

Reticle I'm planning on going with.

Don't ever hesitate with going with a nightforce product!!! I run Nightforce NSx's on my 7mm Rem Mag and custom 338 Lapua. Some will claim others are superior however when it come to durability and most importantly TRACKING of turrets a Nightforce is really hard to beat!! Only other Scope I would choose over a Nightforce is Schmidt and Bender........ However the cost does not outweigh the advantage. Get it you won't regret it I promise!!!

Love the MOAR T.

That's a really big scope for a light rifle.

So what would you recommend instead for a good first focal plane scope.

[willhunt4coues]

Want light weight with perfect tracking and great clarity look at the Sightron SIII 6-24x50 FFP MOA.

Only scope i use for hunting long range.

If go with some second focal plane, lighter.

 

 

Kinda like towing a cigar boat with a Tacoma.
