I'll be the odd man here.

Keep in mind I don't own an SHV and have never shouldered a rifle with one mounted...

I had my mind set on one until I looked at a few in store. The scope just seemed it would be much harder to get behind than my 3-9 SWFA. Did not seem to have a near as forgiving eyebox. I could be wrong, like I said earlier, just my impression from looking through 3 of them in a store. Turned me off enough to just stay with SWFA.

FWIW, my heart was set on Nightforce, still might try one and give it a try. As for right now, and for my needs, the 3-9 SWFA is the best thing I've seen or used.
