I just got a NF 12-42 x 56 NXS with a NP-R2 reticle. This is my first Night Force. I got it for my Armalite AR50-A1. I just got it zeroed at 200 yds. I am waiting for it to dry up so I can try it at 500 yds. I am looking for someone who has a similar setup. I hope to eventually move up to 1000 yds. I have the standard 15 min angle scope base. I am loading my own ammo. Right now, I am loading some 650 gr FMJ BT at around 2900 ft/s. With the 15 min/ang base can I make it to 1000 yds? And what would be a good range to set my zero? I am planning to practice at 500 yds for a while till I can find a place to shoot further. So, I may just leave it zeroed at 200 and use the recticle lines to make to 500 yds. I am not sure if using reticle lines would be best or whether to use the turrent adjustment. I am fairly new to this so any advice would be welcome.
