Home Forums Thread Like Summary - NightForce SHV

I am looking at buying a new NightForce SHV scope in 3.5X10X42 with a second focal plane reticule. I will be using this on my M7 Remington 358 Win for hogs in Texas. Shooting over bait at most perhaps 100 yards in very dim light. I have never owned a NightForce in my 77 years. I am interested in hearing opinions about my proposed purchase.

I have the illuminated Forceplex reticle in that scope and have used it on a few rifles. Last season, I shot this guy at very last light in a dark creek bottom, spotting just his rack moving in my binoculars. I turned on the illumination as I shouldered the rifle and still had to wait for him to make a step so I could see where his front legs were to line up the shot. I don't think I could have taken the shot without such a reticle.
