WTS Nightforce SHV 3-10x42 MOAR illuminated

[HairyScandinavian]

Looking for $725 net to me TYD (I'll cover shipping to lower 48).

This is an almost brand new scope, paid $985 plus tax in February and mounted it to my Bergara 6.5 PRC, been to the range twice. Then I bought a Tikka from EuroOptic and put an NXS on it, probably not gonna ever shoot the Bergara again so wanting to offload the scope so I don't have so much funds tied up sitting in the safe. I have the box and should have everything original included but probably gave the stickers to my son. It's still mounted on the Bergara.

Back from the glorious Elk hunt, bump to move this for some muzzleloader money.

I need to buy a Muzzleloader y'all!

(Bergara) Remove that and it may sell faster

Lol you're not wrong. I have the box and everything so pics in the box look much nicer. The Bergara is for sale also, actually really like that rifle but I bought a Tikka shortly afterwards and it's been my go-to ever since.

Tikka is the goat for sub 1k rifles so you made the right choice. Interested in the scope possibly. I’ll send a DM after this auction ends I’m watching if I don’t win

FWIW I've had two factor authentication enabled for over a year.

Sorry for hi-jacking your predominant need of selling the scope -

I’m a big Tikka fan (lefty). But if this is the Sierra wilderness Bergara makes them in lefty. You say you lIke the rifle, but still prefer the Tikka. Any particular reason? I’m tempted to pick one up “just cause”.

No worries man, free bump for my thread haha.

TLDR: Tikka is lighter but I'd have no qualms picking up the Bergara and taking it on a hunt any time.

So the Sierra just really fits me well, the cheek riser is perfect and the stock fits glove-like. Rifle shoots great, smooth cycling and haven't had any problems whatsoever. It's in 6.5 PRC and I'm trending downward in power. The Tikka is in 6.5 Creedmoor and was an impulse buy but it's no drama and everything just works. Tikka is about 2 lbs lighter so carrying either in the mountains it's always going to get the nod because the cartridges are so similar to begin with. I'm primarily a compound bow or crossbow hunter back home so don't shoot terribly much and when I shoot for fun we tend to reach for the ARs so more than one bolt gun is just a waste and more than one bolt gun in very similar cartridge is even worse. In hindsight I should've gotten the Tikka in 223 and then the 6.5 PRC Bergara would have been a nice compliment and I'd definitely keep it. The Tikka has the compact NXS on it, figure if this SHV sells I'll probably keep the Bergara and slap the NXS on it to shoot from time to time, though I did list the whole combo for sale locally as well.

How hilarious is this: I have the Tikka in 6.5PRC and .223, and yet am looking at the Bergara in 6.5PRC/Creed. Hah!

I’m glad to see a positive a response on the Sierra. Plenty of threads (mainly on here) and vids I’ve seen with them being “so-so.”
