Vortex just announced a Viper PST Gen 2. It sounds like a beast for a very good price. I would wait for that.

Amazon has some real cheap $500 used vortex pst ffp 6-24. Their warranties are transferable so would go used if you can.

Note that the SHV is 4-14x not 4-16x.
Of this list? SHV, but in F1 flavor (4-14x50). The price tag is right and optically it is going to be right there with the NXS, if not better. The reticle is usable, but not as great the as the 2C reticle you can get some some Vortex scopes.

Thanks for the opinion and the correction. Yes, it was a typo: multitasking. It is in F1 and price is just over a grand. As I mentioned, I'm open to suggestions. What do you suggest in the $1500 range?

I don't have enough time behind anything in the $1500 to compare against SHV at $1K and there's been a lot of entry into the ~$1500 market recently. Most of my experience behind scopes is limited to under $1K and over $2K. I think you'll be happy with the SHV - it's pretty much billed as the "entry level" companion optic to the "entry level" rifle. I'd check local dealers (Peacemaker usually has a good selection if you head out there) to see if it's right for you since the eye relief on it is shorter.
The Gen I Razor is right around your max budget if you're okay with an "older" model. It just depends on what you're looking for and willing to spend. I think the SHV is high value, but as I said, I find NightForce reticles lacking overall.

I'd go for the 4-16 only because of the magnification range. Most seasoned long range competitive shooters are not using high magnification scopes for a reason. Military included. High magnification is only helpful for benchrest precision shooters, but for practical long range stuff, which is what I assume most people are looking for, lower ranges are more versatile. I'd be looking more at no more than 4x on the low end, and at least 10-16x on the high end.
