I am scoping a (maybe too lightweight) 7saw Apollo Terminus bolt action, Proof CF barrel, MDT Hnt26 stock. I started with a NF Atacr 4-16x42 Mil-C. Love this scope - build quality, controls, and optical resolution are first rate BUT I cant focus well enough to distinguish center dot of reticle. 52 year old eyes just dont do what I want them to anymore (even with glasses). The use for the scope is hunting and some target shooting to build experience with ballistics of the 7saw at distances to 600 yards. I swapped out the Atacr for an ffp Tenmile 3-18x44 I already have. It has a center dot reticle but its bigger - .06mrad v .04mrad on Atacr and I can see it. However, as good as Tenmile is, not in the same class as Atacr. After I sell Atacr Mil-C, I am considering Atacr 4-16x42 F1 or 4-16x50 F2 (both with Mil-R reticle). I think the Mil-R reticle will solve my problem but want to solicit some advice before I spend more cash. I am good with FFP or SFP in this magnifcation range. There are alot of comments on FFP Atacr x42 but not so much on SFP Atacr x50. Or I could stick with Tenmile since my eyes work with the reticle. Any thoughts are appreciated.

I've had a SFP ATACR, great optic and would recommend. Center dot can be turned up to blinding and you can't miss it. I always prefer FFP if possible, but the SFP ATACR is for sure a great choice with aging eyes, hunting, and low light on the menu.
Did you use the Mil-R reticle or Mil-c on SFP atacr? Thanks!
I am trying to decide between the 4-16x42 f1 and x50 SFP as well.... leaning toward SFP for hunting. How bright is the illumination on these scopes?
If you want this scope for a hunting rifle, but one that can also pull double-duty as a LR target gun, here is my recommendation.

I'm running one of these on my main deer rifle... Absolutely love this scope for a hunting scope. Excellent field of view, and the glass is amazing. Definitely better than the ATACR (I also have a recent production ATACR F1 5-25x56 MIL-XT).

The reticle choices wont work for me. I just cant focus on tiny center dots. Wish I could, bit I cant.If you want this scope for a hunting rifle, but one that can also pull double-duty as a LR target gun, here is my recommendation.

Yea the K318 looks awesome but not planning to spend that much. Main question for me is how usable the x42 F1 is at low power in the woods. I know a lot of guys have said it works fine but some say otherwise.
