Has anybody noticed that the R1 reticle is much darker and easier to see than the R2?
I thought they were both the same diameter or thickness.

I totally agree with what your stating, I've had several NPR2's and they all seam faint compared to the NPR1's

Thanks for the replies!
I've got one of each, and the R1 is a LOT bolder and blacker than the R2. It doesn't really look any thicker, just blacker...if that makes any sense.
I've adjusted the ocular and side focus and gotten it a little darker, but it's still nowhere as sharp as the R1.
