Almost all of my NF's were purchased used. Paid $900 - $1200 for NXS Compacts and $1200 - $1400 for the 5.5-22x56's. Never had a problem with any of them. Had to adjust oculars, which takes less than a minute. Honestly wonder if some folks sold them because they did not understand how to adjust them.
If I could have only one scope to do everything the 5.5-22x56 is the most versatile. The 2.5-10x42 is handy for walking and carrying on a lighter rifle, but noticeably behind the x56 for image. Physics is the law. But, the x42 is a nice scope.
I've handled a SHV and the turret adjustments felt less precise than the NXS, but Leupold just is not a reliable product anymore.
