My lgs has the 30 mm Leupold for $890 out the door. The SHV is $1199 out the door. I've got an SHV in 4.5 x14x56 and it's a nice scope and I really like the reticle. The Leupold is great glass too and has a duplex reticle. I'm wanting to put one of the 2 on my Tikka Xtr 6.5 creedmoor bench rifle. It's got a 4x16 Vortex HST on it now and would be nice if it didn't start blurring at anything above 12 power. I've banged steel with it out to 1200 yards but it's not a 100-1500 yard scope in my opinion. I keep sub moa out to 600 and fight blurred glass when I need the extra power. I kind of like the duplex since I use clicks verses hash lines anyway. I'm old school so mils don't do it for me. I also prefer the second focal plane and both of these are. I've never used a Leupold over a 2.5x10 power. I've got several old Leupolds with the Roman numerals from years gone by which I think glass was better then but turrets were not as good as nowadays. Jmho. Any help on the scopes would be appreciated.
