Rifle Scopes Line thickness for Mil-XT in NX8

[Glassaholic]

I have found the dimensions of the Mil-XT reticle for the ATACR scopes, but it does not list dimensions for the NX8 scopes, does anyone know the dimensions for the line thickness in the NX8?

EDIT: Nightforce sent me the following numbers for the NX8 Mil-XT reticle:
The line thickness for the Mil-XT reticle NX8 2.5-20x50 is .041 Mils.
The line thickness for the Mil-XT reticle NX8 4-32x50 is .036 Mils.

interesting - might be that their website has a few errors or omissions....

the link you posted suggests the reticle is the same for the ATACR and the NX8...

this link suggests the MIL-XT is only available on the ATACR

Nightforce Optics - Rugged. Reliable. Repeatable.

Before they leave the factory, Nightforce riflescopes are subjected to conditions far beyond most anything you will ever encounter in the field. During our impact tests, riflescopes must endure repeated impacts of over 1200 Gs of force on multiple axes.

and this link suggest it is definitely available on the NX8

NX8 – 4-32x50mm F1 - Nightforce Optics

A vast magnification range, with superb clarity and resolution at every step, means that one riflescope will give you a world of versatility and confidence in any situation.

the way the reticles are made, I would expect them to be the same between scope models (assuming same power range) but their website and its contained differences does muddy the water a little and generate a bit of uncertainty....

Looks like it’s the “K” dimension:

sorry not dimensions though, my bad. That’s a weird way to detail that.

^^^ Same reticle in different scope sometimes has different dimensions, for example between the ATACR 4-16 and 5-25/7-35, same reticle (Mil-XT) but different dimensions. In the below example it is the A dimension for the width of the stadia lines, 4-16 is .043 mil width while the 5-25/7-35 both share .033 mil width

Was this question ever answered? I would like to know as well for the 4-32x50.

It has not been answered as far as I know, I am waiting to hear back from NF after submitting the question directly to them.

Anyone know what the 4-20 atacr thickness is?

It’s too thick imho. It reminds me of the 7-35 set at 35x.
