Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Experience with Nightforce SHV? Especially IHR?

Thanks, good info to know. I'm going to book mark this thread for later use.

Just want to add that although I can get behind it just fine with my low ring and mount set up, if a guy wanted to slide the scope further back medium rings would be required. I have a hairs thickness between the rail and the objective part of the tube, can’t slide it back any more without making contact.

Would you mind telling me that price via PM or here. I've dealt with this company before and this is the exact scope I plan on putting on a new T3X Superlite.

This is exactly how I plan to set-up my new Superlite. I really appreciate the info pertaining to the Warnes vs. the Ultralights, as I was considering the Ultralights.

Where did you purchase your rail and rings?

Rail can be bought here.

You can use this rail too it’s a little cheaper and then chop off the excess that hangs over the receive

Rings were bought at Sportsman’s Warehouse

I personally chose the Tikka Performance rail for all my Tikkas just cause they have the recoil lug on them to take the stress off the mounting screws. I figured if the actions are already setup to accept the recoil lug might as well take advantage of it. That said I have had good luck with EGW rails on other rifles too.

The Warne Mountain Tech rails are nice, too. With a shorter rail that doesn’t extend out past the action.

'Cub,
I have never been able to get an optics planet coupon to apply to a NF product, and I've tried! Was this during the couple of days around Black Friday that euro optic also had NF at 10% off?
Secondly, since you had both setups on the tikka - did you prefer the shv to the ss 3-9?
Thanks for your time.

It was around Black Friday, I saw a thread on here for the first time regarding the Forceplex reticle. I went to SW locally and they had one with the Forceplex. After fondling it and comparing it to the Leupold to compare reticles I went home and discovered the 10% coupon and ordered it. I like the SWFA 3-9, I wish that it had lower profile turrets and with the Mil Quad one could really get by with no windage turret at all. I’ve still got the SWFA that was on the Creedmoor I sold and it’s torture having that scope not mounted on a rifle. Thinking about picking up a 243 to put it on for coyotes and goats.
