Although you've made alternate arrangements already, in the FWIW dept. A 2.5-10x42 NXS will fit on a LA M70 Fwt or a Kimber MT 84L in Talley Lwt Lows. There is virtually NO ROOM left for an obj lens cover on the Kimber though.

I can walk on water.......................but I do stagger a bit on alcohol.
IMO the NF is superior in every way. Optically, dependability, all around
Have owned both and fully agree. As it should, costing 2X more. Pictured here with a buck I took last Thursday. Scope is in Medium Talley's on a Bergara Woodsman.

That’s good to know, I’m still going to set up a Kimber with Nightforce one day.

How do you like the Zeiss? Any cons I should know about? The one I bought has a #6 reticle.
Great scope with top of the line optics.
Also have a 1.5-6x42 on a M-70, 375 H&H. One Fire member who has been to Africa a few times, commented on how this rig would be about perfect for Leopards in dim light. Never been to Africa, but I see his point. This scope is excellent in dim light and the .375 with the right bullet would be ideal big cat medicine.

What’s the green cap all about?
A sticker with drops written on it.

Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
My take, the SHV is very good in dim light, although probably not the absolute best. Its strong point, IMO, is it’s strong and robust, holds zero and tracks about as good as any. It may be a tad heavier than some but bank vaults tend to be heavy. And it’s built like one.
It may not be for every application but I sure like mine.
I'm happy with my SHV 3-10x42 MOAR on my Kimber Longmaster 6.5 Creed. I've dialed it but most often use the windshield and have had no issues come evening or morning low light. Have added a washer type zero stop to mine.
