I like the NF SHV 3-10x42 with the illum. Forceplex
If I'm hunting more open terrain I like the NXS 2.5-10x42 with illum. mildot.
I use the SWFA 3-9x42 with milquad, but honesty prefer an illum reticle. An illuminated dot would be preferable than the entire damn reticle though...

Jordan, I don’t want 1 thing to do with reticle bullshit, not a thing, period, if I got time to range and count shiit, I got time to dial... reticle doesn’t mean shiit, that’s why I forceplex’d So I think we’re pretty close in thought. My two favorites are the NF 2.5x10 NXS and the 3x9 SS. I don’t use the reticle at all for holder, but I do use it for windage hold offs. I simply dial to where I wanna hit and go about my life. They’re both under 20 ounces and I’ve not had a bad one yet. I do like having a solid windage mark though. I could be fine without it I guess but it’s nice to have the aiming point, for me. The old 3-12 Bush is good too. I’m a hunter and those two allow me enough magnification to hit elk further than I would ever try so until something else comes along that’s my pick. Oh and the SFP doesn’t bother me with the NF really since if I’m taking it long I’m turning it up to 10 most likely anyhow so I live with that little concession and I like the illum. Just my thoughts.

I had an 3-10 SHV with Forceplex (non-illum) and I have a 3-9 SS. I think the 3-10 SHV with illum Forceplex would be ideal.

Zeiss v4.
You’re welcome. Diesel burnin Dave, I couldn’t find one yesterday with the reticle I wanted Just plex? Not sure what Zeiss calls it #20 or zplex or something. I’ve got a 4-16x44 with the plex. Crankin’ style turrets. I like it simple.

I have killed the hell out of elk, coyotes, deer, etc with both Nightforce and SWFA scopes. SWFA ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/rRrngUq.jpg) NIGHTFORCE ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/xNMsMfN.jpg) SWFA ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/Jz57ScZ.jpg) NIGHTFORCE ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/Wd6VVG9.jpg) SWFA ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/6A4cTOj.jpg) NIGHTFORCE ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/ql8E2Sm.jpg) NIGHTFORCE ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/C4wmqRU.jpg) They both work great. Pick one that has the features, and magnification range you like the best.

The value of the SWFA scopes seems absolutely unbeatable. If money was not an issue, Nightforce would be in the mix for me. Money is always a concern for me, so SWFA fixed scopes are pretty much always the obvious choice. I was skeptical of fixed power scopes when I first tried one, now I have them on all my scoped rifles.
