First focal plane vs. Second Focal plane (F1 vs. F2)

F2 or Second Focal plane Nightforce Reticles appear the same size throughout the magnification range, but changing the magnification does change the hash marks on the reticle in relation to the target. With an F1 or First focal plane scope, the reticle will grow or shrink based on magnification level, meaning that you are essentially zooming into the reticle

Nightforce SHV

Nightforce SHV scopes were primarily introduced as Nightforce’s entry level budget option. While designing this product, engineers geared down the ‘overbuilt’ features of the Nighforce NXS series, making them more affordable but also up to Nightforce Standards in terms of performance and reliability. Therefore, you get Nighforce quality performance at an affordable price.

Available in both first and second focal plane(F1/F2), the lineup includes, the Nightforce SHV 3-10x42, Nightforce SHV 4-14x50, Nightforce SHV 4-14x56 and Nightforce SHV 5-20x56.This SHV has a 30mm main tube, with an adjustment range of 90 MOA or 26 Mil-radians, and quarter MOA adjustments or .10 mrad based on reticle choice. Ten minutes of angle or 5 mil-radians of adjustment per revolution is standard.

SHV models will also come standard with Nightforce’s Zeroset feature which gives shooters a swift way return to zero. The Nighforce SHV 3-10x42 will come with capped turrets while the higher magnification models will come standard with an exposed elevation turret and capped windage turret.
