Finally got mine out yesterday afternoon and again in the evening. For the money spent I'm pretty pleased with it. Shot it on my 700 chambered in the late great 30hate. Only got out to 500 yards. Heavy overcast in south Texas this weekend. Shooting partner had a 7-35x atacr on his 300winmag and before I formed an opinion of the DNT vs the NF I handed it to him to focus and compare to his NF.
He was pretty impressed with it and had a hard time favoring one over the other.
But, as others have observed, as the day wore on and the sun faded, the DNT started to struggle over 20x-25x. 20 was doable. 25 was starting to get dark. 15-20x was good right up to just being too dark to shoot period.
I'm going to shoot it on the 308 a little more and then it will probably move to my winmag. overall I'm happy with it for it's intended purpose. I really like the reticle. Between the DNT, my xtr3, and the ebr7c in my vortex, I prefer the DNT.
