Nightforce glass

[quaticman]

Is the glass quality on the Nightforce SHV riflescope equivalent to that on the NSX riflescope?

 

[ruger-ruger]

No it is not quite as good. It is still high quality, they dial good and are overall a nice scope.
They would compare with a Sightron I would say. If you are in low light conditions you can see the differnece in the NXS.

I've only done the out-the-gunstore-window comparison, but I really couldn't tell the difference. Lighter, and I think the clicks were ever-so-slightly less tactile then the NXS. If they had a better reticle selection, I would have one on my PRS type rifle for sure.

I'm hoping they're real nice, I just ordered a SHV 4-14x50mm F1 and am anxiously awaiting it's arrival (a few weeks out, haha) !

I seriously considered the SHV but I really don't care for their reticles.

I think you will be very happy when it arrives. I have 3 of he NXS and 2 of the SHV. Both have excellent glass.

I would've preferred a xmas tree type reticle but the MIL-R is quite nice.

I just got a 4-14x5 f1. It is a very nice scope.

I have a SIII 8-32 lrmoa and a NXS 8-32 NP2DD. there is absolutely no way to see something in one that I cannot see in the other one and I tried side by side in quite any light/weather condition possible .
both scopes are made in japan and I would not be surprised the glass is exactly the same
