Let me explain my heading.... I am fairly new to the long range world (6 months), but have been shooting off and on for 20 years. Lately I am spending a lot of time reading about glass... reticles, ffp, sfp, mil/mil, moa/moa, power, glass, and on and on.
Seems like the past 10 years have been all about glass clarity and reliability. But now there is a shift in focus to reticles and matching turrets. Great for the shooter, as I am shopping for a mil/mil scope myself. And now the growth of Horus reticles and other hold-over type of reticles. We have the HDMR on the scene, and I am assuming others will follow.
With all of this new tech coming on scene now... is it worth it for a buyer like myself to hold out till after Q1 and see what materializes? I have been leaning toward a NXS MLR/mil scope... but after looking thru a few HDMR's I think... "man, wouldn't that reticle be sweet in a sub $1800 NF!".
I know that there are S&B's, F1's and the likes out there with reticle options... but under $1500 it is limited.... for now. Has anyone heard rumblings (SHOT Show?) of some new options coming down the pipe? Maybe a Vortex PST with the Razor reticle options?
