Rifle Scopes Nightforce Owners, Favorite Reticle?

Re: Nightforce Owners, Favorite Reticle?

NP-R1 if your gonna do much unknown dist. Formula is simple.
 
Re: Nightforce Owners, Favorite Reticle?

I have 4 NF's..... 3 with the NP-R1 and 1 with the NP-R2

I like the R1 better.
 
Re: Nightforce Owners, Favorite Reticle?

When I had a NF I ran a NP-R1.
 
Re: Nightforce Owners, Favorite Reticle?

Im in the market for a Nightforce I really like the MLR. Why dont they offer it in the F1 anymore? Was there problems with it? The MLR2 looks great too but I dont like how only the crosshairs are illuminated.
 
Re: Nightforce Owners, Favorite Reticle?

I own a NXS with NP-R2, I am getting ready to order a new one and had decided on getting NP-R1. That is until I saw the new MOAR. Now I want to order two of those and sell my NP-R2. That MOAR looks bad ass, assuming you shoot MOA. Love that it has thicker lines...

NF finally listened to their customers.
 
Re: Nightforce Owners, Favorite Reticle?

MLR -- Milrad, Milrad 5.5-22
 
Re: Nightforce Owners, Favorite Reticle?

I have 2 NXS scopes with the NP-R2 reticle. I've been looking forward to seeing something like the MOAR reticle. Any details? Line thickness?
 
Re: Nightforce Owners, Favorite Reticle?

I have the NP-R2 and like it. My only complaint is line thickness. It is so thin that it disappears against some dark backgrounds.

Re: Nightforce Owners, Favorite Reticle?

I picked up a NXS 5.5-22 with MLR mil/mil not too long ago here on the hide. I like the mil and half mil hash marks so far, especially when shooting and making corrections at 11x magnification (sometimes necessary to eliminate the heat wave mirage on warm AZ days). It is nice to have that extra half mil hash mark to better judge my correction, as I am still relatively new to shooting anything but a duplex reticle.

I know the reticle line thickness is .140 MOA.

Can I ask where that info came from?
 
Re: Nightforce Owners, Favorite Reticle?

This is the flyer that was being distributed at SHOT

.140moa is the line thickness subtension for the 15x only
The 22x is .125moa(although not listed on this flyer)
The MOAR subtends .125moa in a 32x when set on the "R" setting which is 22x. On 32x it actually subtends .09moa but the spacings need to be adjusted as well since it is calibrated at 22x.
 
Re: Nightforce Owners, Favorite Reticle?

Nightforce NP-R1 5.5-22x56 HS ZS is what I own.....awesome for me since I prefer MOA/MOA
 
Re: Nightforce Owners, Favorite Reticle?

I like the MLR, but the standard mil-dot also works quite well (I've got a couple of each).
 
Re: Nightforce Owners, Favorite Reticle?

What are your thoughts on the NEW MD2/2.0? It has .5 mil marks as well as the ability to ascertain other decimals from spacing on the reticle.

It seems to me the MD2 would be better for breaking down .1s than the MLR2.
 
Re: Nightforce Owners, Favorite Reticle?

I have a NP-R1 and NP-R2. I prefer the NP-R1. I would like to get a mil based scope though. I am begining to think mil is the way to go.
 
Re: Nightforce Owners, Favorite Reticle?

NP-R1 is on all my NF scopes except for one. That will get changed to the new MOAR in June.

(adding ZS/HS turrets also)
 
Re: Nightforce Owners, Favorite Reticle?

I prefer the MRAD Scopes so the MLR and the MLR2.0 in the F1. The New MD2 in the F1's is really nice also. If you are an MOA lover the NPR1 or the NPRF1 in the NF F1 scopes. The NEW MOAR RET is going to be the way to go for MOA.
