Leupold VX5HD with ZL2 turret. Though the prices jave just gone up by $300 or more, so find an in stoxk one at the older pricing (shouldn't be much more than $1,200 for 3-15×42)

At the new $1,500 price tag it's not quite as much a slam dunk, but the ZL2 turret is low profile, and very nicely thought out.

I have a couple of Leica ERi's with locking turrets, but they're a discontinued item so probably hard to find. I would recommend them over anything else sub $2k though.

Which Nightforce SHV models offer an exposes elevation turret? All that I've seen are capped hunting turrets, but maybe they've updated the line?

At any rate, the SHV is not a USA Nightforce, but a contracted out asian scope. Not sure if that matters, and over never used one, but it's possible that you're paying for name with the SHV?

Don't get me wrong, never having used one, I'm not saying anything bad about it, just that it's the only NF line that's built in asia under contract afaik.

If it’s made by Light Optical Works, or LOW Japan, they make some of the finest scopes in the world. The mechanical parts in the SHV line from what I understand are on par with the NSX line, the glass is better on the NSX. I’m no expert when it comes to Nightforce, I’ve never owned one, but I’ve heard they are one of the best on the market as far as the dependability of their tracking in all models.
