[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1426804, member: 307"] I got the chance to look through and sight one in this past weekend. My shooting buddy put the 4-16 version on his X-bolt in .300WinMag. He mounted the scope but hadn't had a break in his taxidermy business long enough to run any rounds through it. Turret adjustments on his scope were firm and precise, not mushy at all. I have owned one SHV and currently own a NXS and while the X-1000 is just as positive, it's not as "heavy" feeling or maybe I should say "as tight as" as the NF's. Maybe the internals of the Nikon aren't as substantial as the NF's. Not sure. Glass was clear and bright and I had no problem seeing .30 caliber holes in the black paper I was using for my target back stop. Don't think that was much of a test though as the range was only 100yds. The first three shot group (Hornady Whitetail 150gn ammo) after bore sighting was 2" high and 6 " left. 24 clicks right and the next three were straight up and again, 2" high. Pretty cut and dry and six shots aren't much of a test but I liked the scope. If it will stand up to this particular rifle then it's a tough one. On a side note; this Browning X-bolt is the crappiest rifle I've shot in a while. The stock is sticky and it kicked like a mad mule! Dura Touch? More like Bugger Stick. I'm just dumbfounded over that sticky stock! Whatever. johnnyk. [/QUOTE]
