Been looking at a bunch of scopes for my Kimber Montana 280 AI. I bought a SWFA on Black Friday but not enamoured with the tall turrets or spiderweb crosshairs. I didn't realize a NF could be had for sub $1000 but the SHV falls into that category.

I'm liking the ForcePlex reticle offered on the SHV. My issue is picking up the fine crosshairs on the SWFA at ends of daylight on dark backgrounds. I think the ForcePlex solves that issue. I wish the SHV had a zero stop and waterproof turrets w/o the caps but the rest of NF quality is supposed to be in the SHV line.

For those seen/used the SHV, what are your impressions for a backpack hunting rifle to be used from timber ranges (30 ft to 100 yds) with opportunities to as far as I'm comfortable (500)?
