Anyone have any experience with Nightforce 5-20 x 56 SHV .I have the opportunity to buy one from a mate .This would go on my Tikka 7 mm Rem Mag for long range hunting. How do you think this scope would go in extremely low light situations.It also has illuminated rectical
Cheers Michael

Re: Nightforce

I like this gentlemen's review videos. I have no experience with that particular optic.

However, I do have an Arken SH4 with the same 3.5" eye relief and as C mentions at 1:10 in the video, it is quite difficult or uncomfortable to use especially off a comfortable shooting bench or with a adjustable comb and generous scope base. With that alone, I would avoid the SHV and look for something that is more accommodating for uncomfortable shooting positions.
Best of Luck.
