If you are good with MOA, Nightforce is able to cap the exposed windage on the NXS.I have the 2.5-10 NXS and the 3-10 SHV. I have the same reticle in both. The upside to the NXS is exposed turrets and zerostop. The downside is the exposed windage turret, which I would prefer to have it covered. The upside to the SHV is I like the parallax better and you get covered windage, but the downside is the capped elevation.
I like both but if I had to just have 1 I would go NXS, but if you’re on a budget the SHV would be hard to turndown.
I am always looking for the same thing, and settled on the March. Even if only usable to 18, that is still a ton higher than the 3-9 SWFA and the SWFA has no parallax adjustment.
The LRHS is great, but 28oz.
I would love a 15x SWFA with a lower profile elevation, capped windage at 22oz or less
