I have decided to get a NF 3.5-15 NXS sfp to put on my 700 5R. I have never ranged with a reticle before and wanted some input from people who have.I will be getting matching turrets but cant decide on the reticle. should i go MOA NP-R1 or 2. Or Mil MLR or Mil-dot. thanks in advance
 
Re: NF reticle ?

Depends if you want MOA or mil. Only you can answer that but if it was me I would go mil/ MLR but if I wanted MOA I would get the NP R1 reticle. More lines for both ranging and holds. Mostly for the 2 MOA windage marks instead of the 5 MOA on the NP R2.
 
Re: NF reticle ?

Like Rob said, the choice is yours. If I was going MIL it would be the MLR, NP-R1 for MOA.

In a perfect world, NF would have a reticle with 2 MOA on the vertical and horizontal. I have a scope with the R2 and wind hold, moving targets, etc. suck with the 5 MOA hash marks on the horizontal.
