    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

    and this link suggest it is definitely available on the NX8


    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.
