I look forward to your report. I have two of the 2.5-10x42 NXS and I would like to see how these compare.

The 3-10 SHV won't ship until later in the year, or so the guys at Nightforce told me at SCI. I looked at it and it looks real good. They expect it to go balls out for them.

I think the 4-14 was so successful that it surprised them. This may be a reason for the introduction of the 3-10.
Just my thoughts, I have no inside knowledge of their planning.

Releasing a 56 mm scope as the first models didn't make sense to me

I just went to Euro-Optic and read the description. I suspect there are some errors in the description.
A 3-10x42 scope has a 50mm objective? The recticle is SFP?
For those of you at the SHOT show or SCI, was it 50mm and SFP?

yes I know it is SFP that is what you want in a hunting scope. a scope that only goes to 10x you don't want FFP, it might work with a simple mildot or duplex reticle but not with a MOA style reticle like the MOAR

Then in the later 70's or so, it went to a 40mm, or I could be mistaken. Just FYI

Hammerdown,
Thanks. I have often told people if they represented what I know as a period on a printed page what I don't know could be represented by a football field; at least.

I wish the 3-10 came with illumination. I don't believe that is an option though.
