Rifle Scopes ATACR 4-16 Mil R or Mil C Reticle

[skatz11]

I’m leaning toward a 4-16 ATACR for my LMT MWS. I can’t decide between the two mil reticles. Does anyone have any decent through the scope pictures?

Thanks!

I've had both. Mil-C hands down.

I like the Mil C much better than Mil R but for match shooting I like the Mil XT even better

For a Gas gun I prefer the MilR. I personally dont really find myself using gas guns to punch small little groups and prefer a thicker reticle that is more useful on lower power. Owned many of both and prefer the milR on gas and hunting guns. For a longer range paper puncher the milc and Xt are more preferred.

this mirrors my opinion and experience as well.

Thanks for the help! I remember looking at Mil-XT sometime last year and did not like it. The tree seemed to distracting. Since then. I thought I wanted the Mil-C, but the simplicity of the MIL-R makes a lot of sense for a gas gun.

Mil-C. No comparison. With the Mil-R, it was more difficult for me to make consistent 0.1, 0.2, and even 0.3 mil wind-holds which where common in my match or hunting situations.

I bought two NF scopes last year both with mill C, I really like it!

This is why I choose mil c over mil r every time

MIL-R

4x - Red
8x - Red
16x - Red
16x - No illumination
16x - Green

Great optic and reticle for SPR purposed rifles. Currently on a 20" Valkyrie.

I’ve had both and like the Mil-C better for wind holds. But with that being said, you can probably get a better deal on a used Mil-R. If it made the difference between being able to afford to get the 4-16 or compromise for a lesser quality optic, the Mil-R is a perfectly clean and useable reticle (in my opinion)

Does anyone have a pic of the Mil-XT at 4x? I liked the idea of a tree reticle for my ar10 but I'm thinking now that it might be too thin down low.

 

[Pappasniper]

I have both and like both for different reasons. Its really a personal choice as you can see by the varied responses. I have Mil R for my LMT MWS. My Bolt wear 5-25 MilC.

Buy either and you wont be disappointed. But if I had to suggest for a gasser, Mil R

Mil-C in all my NightForces Optics (4-16, 7-35). Tried Mil-XT in the 4-16 and found it to busy for my taste.

 

[Class3nfa]

The Mil C is an outstanding reticle. Easy to hold wind, but not to busy in the scope. Makes it easy to spot trace too

I wish Nightforce would have kept the same even numbering of the Mil-R in the Mil-C. I like the floating center dot and .2 hash of the Mil-C but I feel like the numbering of each mil cluttered the reticle up a bit. But I hate when all scope manufacturers do this to reticles. If I designed a reticle I’d always not number the first mil to keep the center area clear.

 

[DDT]

numbering mils is a good idea for me, because of speed on target / prevention of mistakes - wrong count. I agree with first mil is not necessary to mark. I wish the Hensoldt put some numbers to their NH-1 reticle.

to each his own...
