I bought the nightforce. For me it was between the SHV and the zeiss v4. I have a zeiss scope already and I’ve never had a nightforce so that’s the direction I went. Time will tell how I like it..So if you had to choose between these two-
used Night Force SHV 3-10 x 42 for $705 or a
demo SWFA 3-15 x 42 for $479
Which do you choose?

The rifle will mainly be for hunting out to about 600 yds on medium and smaller animals. Target shooting for fun out past that.
I believe the LRTS/LRHS series is on par with the NF NXS line and a little better than the NF SHV scopes.
In what way?
I've had 2 SHVs that didn't track properly
So the bushnell lrts is the real deal? Comparable to the swfa? Probably not NF though?
You got a relatively significant percentage of the total SHV’s that have failed. SHV’s aren’t NXS’s, but they have very few failures. I’m curious now. What rings?
I like the Bushnells. But I’m seeing about 1 in 20, to 1 in 30 that have problems. Usually it is obvious, I.e.- complete loss of zero, internal fogging, RTZ totally off, etc. Still generally good scopes though. However, knowing how NF tests even the SHV’s, odds are the Bushnell is going to have a greater chance to give problems.
Nightforce Unimount on one, Spuhr Aesthetic on the other. Unimount on an AR varmint setup, Spuhr mount on a Tikka.
