With the update of the NF website, it appears there's a new Mil based reticle. So what does everyone think of the Mil-R reticle?

Re: Nightforce Mil-R Reticle
I'm wondering if the center X subtends to .5 or .7? Or is it possibly .4 and then it picks up again at .6? It looks very P4Fish. Other then the center i really like everything else.

Re: Nightforce Mil-R Reticle
Based on the image, I really like it. If it looks as good as an moar reticle in real life I will be getting one.

Re: Nightforce Mil-R Reticle
Not much on the main reticle but I like the .1 mil ranging ret off to the side. Wish my MLR had that

Re: Nightforce Mil-R Reticle
Not a fan. Wish the ATACR was offered in other mil-based reticles. This reticle and SFP is whats keeping me from switching from my USO I just got to this.

Re: Nightforce Mil-R Reticle
Not a fan for the same reason that I don't like the reticle in my SWFA 5–20x50: the sizes of the features aren't obvious. The ranging setup off to the side looks fine. I'm 99% sure that the scope that replaces my SWFA will have an MSR reticle. That design floats my boat.

Re: Nightforce Mil-R Reticle
I don't like it. Too many spaces Its a good concept, but the H2CMR seems more usable.

Re: Nightforce Mil-R Reticle
I have looked at this a number of times and my impression is that it looks like a wadded up aluminum foil that has been flattened again. Make the lines solid and you will have something again.
If you want to do something add one more mill to the subtention lines on the LV.5 for a little more windage and Mil, Mil. And put it in the 2.5-10 32 NSX. This would take care of anything you are going to do with a .223 or .308.

Re: Nightforce Mil-R Reticle
I still prefer the H2CMR.
I fail to understand why none of the other Mil reticles have .2 hashes near the center... when often you are trying to hold somewhere between .1 and .9 mil...... except for the H2CMR it is always a SWAG!

+1 for h2cmr
i feel they missed the mark on this one. i would have liked to see the mlr2 instead of this.

Re: Nightforce Mil-R Reticle
Will this be available in the compact scopes? I been wanting a 2.5-10x32 with mil reticle but I hate mil dots. An adjustable parallax would also be nice addition as well

Re: Nightforce Mil-R Reticle
Looks OK to me. I like the numbers, and like others, I would love it in the Comact.

Re: Nightforce Mil-R Reticle
definitely seems NF'ish.
I understand the customer with the biggest check book got to choose whats for dinner. They must shoot at different things than I do.
I'll parrot what others have said about finer resolution under 2mils for wind holds and I don't need numerals anywhere.

Re: Nightforce Mil-R Reticle
I like the FFP version listed in the BEAST .pdf. It has verticals going to at least 8 mils.
Now that the subtensions have been listed... I am sure they got this one right and I can't wait to put it to use!
I think the open hashes will work well on the higher magnifications for wind holds, and I will not have any issues holding .2 mil or less accurately with the reticle so long as the open areas are indeed at the .5 mil mark for the first mil and at .25 mil and .75 mil there after. I like the Open areas for the hold offs.
I am not a fan of the ? 1 mil ? lines at the 1 mil horizontal and vertical, but I understand they make good sense for fast shooting on low power. The horizontal hash on the vertical will provide a useful 300 yard wind hold for fast shots.
I would like to have seen 1 mil horizontal hashes at the 2 or 2.5 mil mark on the horizontal for a fast 400-500 yard wind hold.
I really like the off set .1 mil marks on the ranging portion to the right. Should be much easier to determine the target edge and correct .1 mil... maybe that is just my older eyes...
I am looking forward to giving the scope and the FFP version of the reticle a try.

Re: Nightforce Mil-R Reticle
With some explanation and practice, the "spaces" might become useful instead of a puzzle. I like the NF MOA-R reticle better and would consider the MOA version of the ATACR SFP scope.
I would prefer the S&B H2CMR to what I know about the new NF Mil-R reticle above.
Thanks for posting a large version of this reticle.

Re: Nightforce Mil-R Reticle
I would go the MIL-R route but only because the MLR2 is not offered.
I really had to spend some time looking at the MIL-R to understand it. I don't care for the mixed use of 1/2, 1/4, & 1/8 mil subtensions - it could get confusing in a hurry. And I don't understand why they only use half a subtension in the horizontal but a full subtension in the vertical. I'm sure they had their reasons and maybe I just need to be educated. But I do like the setup on the lower right which I assume is for "milling" targets.
But they listen to their customers so I expect this to change.

Re: Nightforce Mil-R Reticle
The real quesiton isn't "do we like the retice?" its when are you getting the BEAST with this reticle in stock, how much, and is there a waiting list?

Re: Nightforce Mil-R Reticle
Well, my only complaint about it was that the pictures I had seen previously were of the 2nd focal plane version. The FFP is pretty great. Very little I would change for competition use.
