>have you ever seen the Nightforce advertisement on the American sniper soldier with the bullet thru his nightforce scope ? and this soldier just kept using that shot up Nightforce scope and that scope never failed him so that`s why I use them. 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!

No one has mentioned the illuminated Forceplex reticle: Illuminated ForceplexWouldn't the illuminated Forceplex alleviate concerns about the Forceplex reticle's performance in low light?

SHV doesn’t have the illuminated reticle.
Dirt farmer, real nice rifle, what’s it weigh?

SHV doesn’t have the illuminated reticle. If you look at the top right of the link I posted it states: "Available in: Second focal plane Nightforce™ SHV™ riflescopes."

I don’t have the 3-10, but do have the SHV 4-14 F1. 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

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.

Alright, DF, Here's a pic of my rifle. Mid-70's 700 action, started life as an ADL .243. Trued the receiver, Pac Nor barrel (remage), Grayboe stock, Timney trigger. Ordered some Aadmount flip-up covers, too.

No one has mentioned the illuminated Forceplex reticle: Illuminated ForceplexWouldn't the illuminated Forceplex alleviate concerns about the Forceplex reticle's performance in low light? 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

I was told Nightforce will offer illumination in the 3-10 SHV in 2019. The illumination will replace the parallax adjustment. It is supposed to offered with the forceplex and MOAR reticle.

I do wonder if parallax correction is really necessary at 10X.
I won't hurt, but is it a big factor?
