I believe Nightforce is releasing a new SHV model scope with zero stop, exposed elevation turret, capped windage, in the 4-14x50 range. Currently the only SHV with zero stop is the 5-20x56. I don't know if any of the NXS models would work for you if you can find a good sale price.
How did your scope fail ?
So after having my Vortex Viper HS LR fail me in Montana last weekend I will soon be in the market for a new scope. I'm done with the Viper line as hunting is a pass/fail test and they failed. Here is what I would like in a scope:-30mm main tube-something between 15 and 24 power-50mm objective lens-tactical elevation turret-zero stop-capped windage turret (not a deal breaker but prefered)-stick around 30oz or lessBudget is $1500 max. Would very much prefer to stay closer to a grand. I had planned to do some work on the ol short mag this off season but I guess glass is in order first.Also, I have access to a pretty steep discount on a Leupold item but it doesn't look like the Mark 4's have a zero stop. Has anyone used the Peters M1 zero stop?
Quote from: swift on December 02, 2015, 06:24:04 PMHow did your scope fail ? Had a good shot opportunity on a good buck. Ranged, dialed, got into the gun, cranked the power ring up and my reticle spun with it. Thought I was seeing things, but nope! Spin the ring, reticle spins. Cost me that deer. Luckily I had a backup rifle. The Nikon Buckmaster on that one worked just fine. Pretty disappointing for a $500 scope.
sounds like the leupold vx 6 3-18 might be a good fit, also would look into a steiner, seems like most nightforce scopes are on the heavier side for hunting
I know It's no a 30mm tube, but take a peak at the Burris XTR II, 30.9oz, comes in MOA or MIL turrets and reticules, forever warranty, and it in your price range.
