JDS...
I couldn't care less what SH has or has not accomplished nor if JeffO was the magic negros campaign manager... SH came off as a sniveling little bitch and I'll treat him as such...
I was in no way comparing the two or their achievements... I was replying to a whiny cünts post... Nothing more or nothing less...
SH is not the only person to have served...

Very easy to get behind..My brother liked mine so much that he bought one for his 7 mag..He doesn't like to spend money so it says something when he spends that much on a scope..LOL But the proof is in the pudding..You spend that much it had better work like it's sposed to.. This is the proof..First time he got to try it out was a spring bear at 520 yards...Right through the heart.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7lbyG1gTLw Thanks for your YouTube ! Nice shot! First I thought ya just nicked him and still went some 20 yards thru that tangle!? If ya got more vids posted Id be pleased to look at them A new spring bear season is almost here..I will see what I can do..

Santiam... does the lack of a zero stop bother you? How's it hitting in you low light in the Oregon woods?

starsky has a 3-10x42 SHV on his 7mm Rem Mag. He killed a bunch of shist with it this year. And he also let me shoot an elk with it. It was a 5x5 bull at 720 yards about 30 minutes before dark, and I had no issues with the scope at all. Pretty much all I needed to know. It might be tougher to kill things up in Oregon, but I don't plan on finding out.
Sermon over.

Bumping this in hopes of getting a measurement from someone who has one in hand....
I need to know the distance from the ocular (eyepiece) to the beginning of the objective bell, as in where it starts to flare out to bigger than the tube.
The compact nature of the scope, combined with the relatively few mount options for the rifle, combined with my own deviant scope mounting desires, have me worrying it might an issue. That number should tell me all I need to know.
Thank you!

You lucky dog! Well, I suppose luck has nothing to do with it, eh?  Looking forward to your thoughts on it. I'm still a month or so out. I've perused that web page, and there's some good dimensioning info there, but there's not enough there to give me the one thing I need, which is the measurement requested up above. If you'd stick a tape to yours when you get it I'd be very grateful!

Josh, that's what I needed. Thank you for taking the time.
I think 8-1/2" is not good news for me though. Hmmm.

I have one that I've used quite a bit on a Ruger Hawkeye Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor. So far I've shot it on steel out to 750 yards and the adjustments have been true. I like it a great deal.

Only one i've seen put thru the paces,over two years is a 5-20x56, a pard has it on his 7 wsm "chunk". its never had a hiccup,and I have to assume the other models are similar.
It aint no NXS tho..

It sure isn't! And I don't expect it to be. But personally I was disinclined to drop $1900 for a scope. One of my intermittent fits of frugality.

Bob
FWIW we have a 12X42 NF That my son and I used in 1000ydBR, 600 yd BR and various other competitions. We shared the same rifle and just shot on different relays. We would burn through a Kreiger barrel every summer. That scope was clicked to hell and back and never failed to return to its zeros. Some matches started at 200 & out to 1000 and back again. Lots of turret twisting NEVER lost zero.
If they weren't so heavy I would have one on my hunting rifle, and now that there are some lighter ones just may spring for one soon.
