which glass is best

Sneaky:
looking for optics that are in my price range and have narrowed it down to nightforce SHV, Leupold Vx-5, and Zeiss V4. Can anyone weigh in on optical clarity between the three? The nightforce is the entry level in their line but really the only scope they offer that I know of in a "traditional" duplex style retical. I have read mixed reviews on the repeatability of the leupold turret tracking system (I have never had a problem with a leupold product), and simply unfamiliar with the Zeiss V4. Thanks in advance for the input.

Karl Blanchard:
I'm curious as to why you want a traditional duplex reticle in a long range scope? Seems counterproductive.

To answer your question on glass, v4 is gonna be top of the pile with the vx5 close behind. SHV is right in there as well. You're likely splitting hairs as all three are great optically. Personally you couldn't pay me money to us any of the VX lines these days, so I'd go v4, then SHV.   :twocents:

I'm really happy with my SHV. I plan on buying more for other rifles.

I wouldn't limit your choices due to reticle. I was the same way when I made the transition to these long range scopes, worried about how busy everything was.  You get used to it.  I still don't care to try and use the reticle's hash marks, just doesn't feel right. I always dial. It'll be unnatural at first but you'll get more comfortable with it the more you shoot with it.
