Apparently NightForce "Gon give it to ya"...a less sucky LPVO reticle than their initial circle-dot

Agreed. My main bitch about the original was that the 1 mil holdover typically used for 300 yd on a 5.56 was a cluttered FOV. This new design opens up the whole workspace at 1mil ... I also love the additional holds above centerline . Good shit right there.Looks like their best LPVO reticle yet.
Problem tho is the reticle is worthless then between 1 and 8x... with 24mm objective i’ll Pass on that. At least with the one I had the nx8 was best at about 6-6.5x for taking longer shots in terms of eyebox and view but the reticle wasn’t very good at that mag setting.Heresy, I know, but I’d like to see this in a second focal plane 1-8x NX8.
I don’t use the ranging capability and would like an almost holographic view with a larger reticle at 1x. I have an older Millett Designated Marksman scope that I use like a holo sight and love it.
Agree. This needs to be in the NX8 at the current price pointNot available in the NX8.
NF still doing NF shit.
And they wonder why the Gen 3 razors outsell them 10 to 1.
IMO fantastic size, weight. With the right reticle I can live with the tight eyebox.People still give a fuck about the nx8 1-8?
Huh...interest
I thought the same thing. I'm willing to give up a small amount of brightness for a better all-around package. But it still needs to be daylight bright to passWhen I saw this my first thought was dang--good improvement. I want that in my ATACR.
But on second thought when you remove all that "mass" from the donut is the 1x red dot performance going to suffer? (aka be less bright?)
It'll be interesting to see.
FC-DM for reference
March is looking like top dog in that raceI'd like to see a few more dual plane reticles out there.
Put that big red ring on the 2nd and the grid on the 1st, now that would be kick ass.
It does work well. I've got a S&B dual. Really like it, but damn its big. My hope is that the industry continues to expand on smaller, lighter weight dual options.I'd like to see a few more dual plane reticles out there.

Is it 22 or 24 ounces? Sources differ.It does work well. I've got a S&B dual. Really like it, but damn its big. My hope is that the industry continues to expand on smaller, lighter weight dual options.
It’s mounted in a Scalaworks. I’ll weigh them together when I get a chance.Is it 22 or 24 ounces? Sources differ.
I like it. Although I hate it when the tree starts right at 0. Start it at 2 mils keep that center less cluttered. I’m really hoping nightforce matches vortex and offers a 1-10. Would be a killer scope on one of DMRs
Gotta decent picture of the reticle at 1x for viewing pleasure?I like it. Although I hate it when the tree starts right at 0. Start it at 2 mils keep that center less cluttered. I’m really hoping nightforce matches vortex and offers a 1-10. Would be a killer scope on one of DMRs
Exactly, why would you need 2 mil of windage dots at 1&2 mil of elevation ... Should start the 2 mil of wind at 3&4 mil of elevation.
That being said, I do like the hold under dots.
Thanks for taking the time to do this. Personal request can you please try and make another go at the 1X with illumination. Really can't see anything in that shotMine showed up today. Hopefully these pictures are decent enough... I think I’m a happy camper. It’s funny, the manual doesn’t even reflect the new reticle yet.

How’s this?Thanks for taking the time to do this. Personal request can you please try and make another go at the 1X with illumination. Really can't see anything in that shot
No problem.NAILED IT ! Thanks
from the photos at 1x its looks terrible ! not a complete dot like the old one. It looks something you would see in cheap airsoft clone ! can anyone post a photo of the new reticle again at 1x with the illumination on
have you looked through the new reticle ? i have placed an order through a dealer in here in the UK , i thinking of asking them to get nightforce to put the old reticle in mine (if they will even do it and doesnt cost $300+)Through the scope photos rarely give you a real feel for what’s going on. Some are good at taking the pics, most aren’t.
Honestly given the way NF does the bottom end, what the fuck are people expecting? If you want an Aimpoint bottom end and a precision rifle top end, best pony up some S&B level money.
