It’s Evaluation
Nightforce SHV 4-14×56 MOAR rings were mounted first to the base of the scope and torque to 65-inch pounds. After the scope was set in the lower half of the rings, getting the perfect eye relief, and making sure the scope was level with the action of the rifle, the ring’s top half was torqued down to 15 inch-pounds. Then there was enough amount of clearance between the scope objective bell and heavy contour barrel to still fit the excellent bikini scope covers to safeguard the lenses. With the mounted scope, all you have to do is to wait for winter weather to provide you with enough decent days to perform some thorough evaluation. But its evaluation indicated a perfect riflescope well designed for its job.

It’s a riflescope worthy of its Nightforce name in each regard. It’s for shooters and hunters who do not require “overbuilt” characteristics of other series. This is an amazing product that’s highly recommended.
