That's why I use them too, you never know when you might take a round. It's war out there in the deer woods, I tell ya! A wise man is frequently humbled.

Based on its performance, you could certainly count on the 3-10 SHV to track correctly and return to zero reliably. Here is five shots at 100 yards with the scope being dialed from zero to max elevation between every shot. John Last edited by Hondo64d; 09/13/18.

I should have been more specific, the 3-10x42 doesn’t have an illuminated reticle option. Forceplex or MOAR in North America. Edit: I see that was already pointed out. Last edited by prm; 09/13/18.

The Nightforce Forceplex™ reticle was created by and for hunters. Designed with direct customer feedback, it is simple and uncomplicated, with a clean, unobstructed field of view. The fourplex design has long been prized by hunters around the world for the way the heavier lines center your eye quickly on the target…yet we’ve made no compromises on precision, with 0.125 MOA^RSMU center crosshairs that allow precise shot placement on the smallest target—even at extended distances. The Nightforce Forceplex™ is available in illuminated and non-illuminated versions, depending upon the SHV™ riflescope you choose. It is superb in low-light environments, and will serve you well on any game, from the dense forests of North America to the vast plains of Africa. Headed in the right direction to be the best. I might need to get another NF Scope. Take care Randy NRA Patriot Life Benefactor
