5-20 nightforce shv are pretty awesome for the price.
Agreed.
But...with up to a 2 K budget, I would step up to the 5.5-22 NSX. 50 or 56mm...pick your poison.

Which brands? Bushnell and leupold?
Those were the two mentioned.
Thanks for the replies. I am currently leaning toward either a bushnell lrts 4-18x44 or a nightforce atacr 4-16x42.
For those who asked, my intended purpose is deer sized game out to 600-700 yards.
So they're both heavyThe bushnell is 28oz, the nightforce is 30oz. 2 oz doesn't concern me.
I'd recommend the Leupold VX5HD or VX6HD - Both have locking turrets, zero stops, options for illuminated reticles, and are pretty lightweight.
What about the new Mark 5? Just $100 more than the VX6 but it think may be better for low light with the short 35 mm main tube? 44mm objective to keep it low to the rifle. Locking turrets for windage and elevation. Looks like a pretty good scope and in that budget.
What does the 35mm tube have to do with "low light"? My experience show a larger objective is better than a 44 if both have the same quality of glass.
