[QUOTE="Elkwonder, post: 1239373, member: 28569"] Ok I have read all the reviews on the Nightforce shv as well as the Swarovski z5 and for the life of me I cannot decide to go with the SHV 4-14x50 F1 or with the Swarovski z5 3-18x44 with ballistic turret. I really like somethings about both scopes. I like the reticle being illuminated on the Nightforce, as well as the dependable trackability. I also like the 30mm and the elevation range. As for the Swarovski, I like that it weighs less, I also like the 44 objective for cheek weld. Its also a plus having 18 power instead of only 14 and I think the glass may be a touch better from what Im told on the swaro as well. However, I don't like the one inch tube because of less elevation. I also don't like the ballistic turret only having four settings on it. Have any of you guys had experience with BOTH of these scopes? Is there anything Im over looking here? Also, these scopes would be going on Tikka t3x hunting rifles. Mainly a 6.5x55 as well as a 300 wsm. I like to dial my scopes and often play around out to five or maybe six hundred, but thats about my max. Thanks for any information that might help me make a decision here.....lol [/QUOTE]
