Rifle Scopes Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

[dreever]

I'm curious as to which reticle everyone prefers. On a site called "Snipers Hide" one would immediately think "Mildot" but that just might not be the case. At any rate it should be an interesting poll.
So which one do you prefer and why????????

With MOA adjustments- R1. With MIL adjustments- MLR.

+1 I currently run NP-R1 on my NXS.

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

Both of my NF scopes have the NP-R1

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

If they would make NP-R2 windage hashes in 2 MOA increments, it would be GREAT. I think 2 MOA elevation/windage marks would be ideal for most situations. Oh well, nobody at NF asked me so I can just use the NP-R2 and wish it were different.

If I was going MIL-based, the MLR would be the pick.

Mils and MLR

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

I'm a fan of NP-R2..

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

+1 Rob01

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

Hmmmm it seems I might be the only one to still prefer mildots.
The R1 just seems so busy with all those lines.

 

[springle]

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

I agree that NP-R2 needs 2 moa hash marks instead of 5 moa for windage. Im considering changing mine to R1 for that reason.

 

[deersniper]

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

NP-R1 w/ MOA knobs.

 

[desertHK]

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

I have one MLR and one mil. I prefer the MLR. The next one will definitely be MIL. THis makes ranging at long distances a bit easier. JMHO

 

[donws2]

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

NP-R1 with MOA adjustments also

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer


The Nightforce version of the Mildot is the ticket IMHO. The dot are see through circles. A 30 cal bullet hole at 100 yards fits neatly inside the Dot (circle) and makes a great aiming point

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

I'm with JWP, still the old school mil dots in mine.

 

[SCOTTx88]

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

NPR1 with MOA and Zero Stops here.

 

[Coal Dragger]

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

NP-R1 with MOA adjustments is what I have, and I like it really well. Wish I had a zero stop though.

[Pharaoh]

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

+1 for the Mils and MLR

 

[rijndael]

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

I prefer Mil line reticles, so put me into the MLR category.

Ya the 5 MOA windage hash marks are utterly useless. 2MOA ELE and 2MOA WIND would be very nice.

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

Updated Poll results

NPR1 = 12 55%

MLR = 5 23%

Mildot = 3 13%

NPR2 = 2 9%

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

I have an NP-1RR and NP-R2. I can't really say which reticle I prefer, but I don't think I'd buy either of these reticles again...

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

I have 2 NFs with MILDOT reticles and MOA turrets.


Thinking about going to MIL turrets though.

Easy to range with. NP-R2 is less congested but harder to range with for me.

 

[fcordrey]

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

NP-R1 with MOA and Zero Stops also.

 

[Diesile]

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

NP-R2 w/MOA knobs, went for uncluttered but might go to R1 for
precision.

 

[dtask]

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

I have the milldot 8-32X56mm on a TRG 42 but I think I am going to get the MLR with zero stop this time around.

 

[Firemarshall27]

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

NP-R2 on both of mine but I think I would go with the R1 if I had to do it over.

 

[AIAWinAU]

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

MLR for sure - it seems a bit thicker as well for those of us that are getting older eye's.

 

[NOMAD]

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

MLR without any doubt!!

 

[Sterling Shooter]

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

For me, .2 MOA dot is ideal.

 

[4570sharpshooter]

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

I have the np-r2 BR. 4570SS

 

[phlii]

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

For those of you who have looked at both, are the thicknesses of the crosshairs and subtensions the same for both the MLR and NP-R1/NP-R2 reticles? I'm talking specifically about the 5.5-22 magnification.

 

[scotharr]

Re: Nightforce owners which reticle do you prefer

I'd prefer that they offer the IOR MP-8 reticle! I think it is better....the dot is a nice touch.
