    Rifle Scopes Night Force First Focal Plane + Horus reticle

    Rifle Scopes Why no love for Horus Vision.

    Re: Why no love for Horus Vision. I've been looking all over the 'Net, and all I see is NF F1 scopes with the H58 reticle... doesn't look like other Horus reticles are available. That being said, I would LOVE it if someone could correct me...
