Has anyone put the bushnell lrhs vs the Nightforce SHV 4-14x50?
They seem to have similar features (available in mil/mil, capped windage turret, exposed elevation turret). Personally, I start losing the tactical type reticle in low light and wish the 3-12 LRHS was available with illumination.

What type of rig are we talking about? Everyone has their own tollerance for weight they are willing to accept from a scope. For me, on a hunting rig, the LRHS at 25 oz is pushing it. The 30 oz 4-14x50 SHV gets scratched off my list immediately for weight alone. If you can tolerate 30 oz then its definitely worth considering.

Weight is not a primary concern with this rifle

Eye relief could possibly be a negative!

Looks like the 4.5-18 lrhs wins in weight, eye relief, shorter overall length, and longer main tube length (at least if their websites are correct).
However the lrhs has a smaller objective. Has anyone put the two side by side comparing optical quality? Tracking when twisting turrets, return to zero, etc

Personally, I start losing the tactical type reticle in low light and wish the 3-12 LRHS was available with illumination. How about the LRTSi? Identical to LRHS except no donut of death reticle, and a locking, rather than capped windage turret, and has illuminated reticle.. http://bushnell.com/tactical/riflescopes/elite-tactical/lrts-i-3–12x-44mm John

I can tolerate the 30 oz weight of the SHV and was shooting my 7mm with 180s doing 2950-3000 today with no issues on eye relief. Never tried an LRHS but they get great reviews. I like the SHV a lot on my 7mm.

I have two 4.5-18 LRHS, and I have zero complaints. Never had a NF, so no comparison.

What is the illumination like on both? Does one get dimmer or have thinner lines when illuminated?
