This does work but I really don't need daytime illumination. The black circle dot reticle is fine for daytime shooting.
The FC-2 works great for shooting 4", 6" and 8" steel plates @ 300yds with my AR-15. I haven't been able to use it further yet. My guess is it wouldn't be too hard to hit a man size target at 600. It's probably not the best ranging reticle but with some practice it will suffice. I wouldn't mind seeing a small MOA scale under the circle dot or in mils with matching turrets.
A man-sized plate at 400yds is easy through my 1.5x ACOG with a 50yd zero, so I would tend to agree with you. NF added the scale you want in the
FC-3G reticle.
Here is what NF has said about the FC-2:
• Designed around M118LR (7.62) at 2567fps or a 5.56 out of a 14.5”/16” rifle w/ Mk262 (5.56) at
2700fps
• All hold points are 5MOA apart – The circle is 10moa – a human head at 100 yards
• Zero the center 2moa dot at 200yds – that pretty much gives POA/POI from 25-200 yards
• 100yds is just above the top of the 2moa dot
• 300yds – place the 2 moa dot at 12 o’clock on a 10” plate
• 350yds – place the 2moa dot on top of a 10” plate
• 400yds – set the bottom of the 10moa circle on top of a 10” plate
• 500yds – tip of vertical triangular post below circle
• 600yds – bottom of the triangular post below the circle
• The edge of the circle is the hold for walking targets at 100 yards
• The tip of the 3 and 9 o’clock points are for running targets at 100 yards
