QUALITY AND PRECISION
Nightforce riflescopes will never be “cheap.” The quality of materials, the precise tolerances, the skilled workmanship, and the need to withstand a lifetime of recoil make it physically impossible to build a world-class riflescope that is “cheap.”
WORTHY TO WEAR THE NAME
One of the most difficult challenges Nightforce has ever faced was building a riflescope that is worthy of the Nightforce name in every regard—yet within the reach of a wider range of hunters and shooters who don’t need the “overbuilt” characteristics of our NXS™ series, most of which were originally created to withstand actual combat conditions.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
It wasn’t easy. But they did it. By limiting some options, offering simpler controls, and using a less complex manufacturing process…not by reducing the quality of its components. Experience the same premium quality and absolute precision only a Nightforce riflescope can deliver, now in a simpler, more economical package
SHV 5-20x56
Exceptional quality and precision at extended ranges; the Nightforce SHV™ 5-20x56. The SHV series of riflescopes delivers Nightforce's legendary precision and reliability promise, within a more streamlined and economical platform. While the quality of many lesser variable-power riflescopes deteriorates dramatically at high magnification, the SHV 5-20x56 provides superb clarity, crispness and color contrast throughout its entire magnification range. With premium features including a 30mm main tube, ZeroSet™, and multiple reticle and illumination options, the SHV 5-20x56 is a more than capable partner for your next long range shooting adventure.
