the new SHV is FFP only, again did you read the requirements I put forth? I haven't seen the reticle in person but its going to rely heavy on illumination on low power. imagine what 1 moa subtensions are going to look like at 100 yards through a 4x scope on low power. the reticle will wash out at low power. This is what I keep saying. in all honesty FFP in that scope the reticle will be better in the mil version.
The other thing is it is the same weight as an NXS. I would probably pay the extra couple hundred and buy a NXS on the used market over that particular model of SHV even if they made it in a SFP.

The Nightforce SHV lineup covers about everything on your wish list. actually it doesn't nightforce doesn't have that great of low light reticles. the SHV 4-14 only comes in 56mm obj. the 3-10 model comes with the IHR and MOAR, while I love the MOAR its not suited to the 3-10 model. I suppose I could get the 4-14 but I would just have to deal with the 56mm objective, but weight becomes an issue. at that point I would probably go 3.5-15 NXS, which is what I have done on one of my guns. online forums are funny when someone comes with real substance and questions things, attack the messenger and inpune them personally. more optics options benefit YOU! The SHV 4-14x50 can be had with an illuminated reticle.

56 mm = Hubble telescope. 40 45 mm is enough to get beyond legal shooting light

Just accept it, you'll never get exactly what you want.
Find something you can work with, and make it work. Or get into the optics design business.

This forum is filled with people who feel the need to regurgitate what others have said if for no other reason than to either gain acceptance or to not feel someone's else's wrath. Try what you have. Try other things. Sort through opinions of all.

cummins,
Please shoot more, and post less. Do us all a favor. that's funny after me having to educate you on your own range finding binoculars. You didn't even know that was a Leica defect. You just spout the Internet pack mentality. Forum parrot is what I call it. If you don't like what I am saying you know there is an ignore feature. Or simply don't read it. 2 options. With that said GFY. You might need to google what that means.
