Rifle Scopes Nightforce MLR reticle

[MacMan]

Any experience using this reticle?Just purchased a NXS 5.5-22X 56mm with zero stop elevation knob & .1 mil-radian knobs and the illuminated MLR reticle.This model is not frontal focal so range estimates will have to be made at the higest power setting.I was wondering how well I will be able to see the reticle at the lower power settings.
Thanks!

Actually, you can range at 11x as well. The marks are twice as big though.

The reticle is a second focal plane so the reticle size stays the same.

Re: Nightforce MLR reticle

If you range at half-power on a second-focal-plane reticle, the range you get must be divided by two.

And if would be a good idea to calibrate the power ring to ensure where the half-power point actually is.
