Nightforce SHV line of riflescopes offers the same performance you've come to expect from Nightforce, but at a much more affordable package. The SHV series is perfect for a wide range of applications from target shooting to big game and varmint hunting.
Yes, the SHV series comes at an affordable, but it should never be described as cheap. The quality of materials, precise tolerances, and the skilled workmanship make it impossible to build a world-class riflescope that is cheap. The SHV scope offers the versatility of other Nightforce lines such as the NXS, but without the overbuilt features, which were originally created to withstand actual combat conditions. The SHV riflescope uses a less complex design and manufacturing process, but it still features the quality components. Experience for yourself the same premium quality and precision only a Nightforce riflescope can offer, but now in a simplier, more economical package.
Even with its consumer-friendly price point, the SHV riflescopes still offer the same revered bomb-proof durability as all of Nightforce's optics. Each scope features a one-piece tube precision machined from a solid bar stock of 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum alloy. The tube is two to three times thicker than riflescopes of a lesser quality, resulting in less overall stress, greater thermal stability, a consistent zero and a virtually impervious shield for the precision optics within. The lenses are matched and aligned by hand in a process called optical indexing to ensure the highest possible optical performance. The objective lens utilizes a multi-element design like those found in the highest quality telescopes to focus light rays more precisely for exceptional image clarity and color accuracy. Optical performance is further enhanced thanks to multi-coated ED glass that results in superb light transmission, brilliant images, and exceptional color contrast. The internal mechanisms on the windage and elevation turrets are held in place by a specially designed spring that spends two weeks in a polishing tumbler before being installed in the optic to deliver perfectly smooth operation. This guarantees zero loss of integrity, zero loss of repeatability.
