Preferred NF reticle for a range/hunting rifle?

[Lrdchaos]

I’m currently putting together parts for a do it all kind of rifle. It will mostly be a range gun, but will make its way on a hunt here or there. I’m currently deciding between the beast and the 7-35, regardless of which NF model I choose what is your recommendation on a do it all kind of reticle?

For me the MIL-XT is the pick of the bunch at the minute, I asked a similar question on the forum recently as I need a new scope for PRS and the Nightforce 7-35X fits the bill:

PRS Talk - Best Nightforce Reticle For PRS

I need a FFP / MIL scope for the PRS rig I'm putting together and I've took a shine to the Nightforce 7-35X. I realize that for PRS I'll mostly use it in the middle of the magnification range to get the wider field of view but I'm hoping that with the fine centre dot I can also use it in F...

Mine WAS their mil-dot reticle before they discontinued it. I have stop buying NF scopes because of it.....Hate the moar reticle!!!

Schmidt and Bender for me now.....P3 reticles.

If you like grid reticles, or are interested in trying them, the Mil-XT is perfect.

If you’re a traditional reticle guy, then the Mil-C is great. Nothing wrong with the Mil-R, but the other two are preferred by me.

Regardless, you can’t go wrong.

Mil-Xt is a great crossover reticle and not busy to the eye like a T3.

Another vote for the Mil-XT.

I use mil xt. But lot of guys love the mil r for hunting.

I've gone back and forth studying the Mil-R versus the Mil-C photos, but I like the open, uncluttered crosshair intersection on the Mil-R best. So, that is what I have in my Nightforce scopes. I can see that the Mil-C might be a bit quicker for ranging, though, with those extra hash marks.

I've only used Mil-C (a friend's) and Mil-XT (mine). I might like the C better but don't regret getting the XT which, since it's new to me, I think will grow on me. I got the XT because the C wasn't available and I'm impatient.

My favorite it the NF R2, but it seems Leupold missed the mark on the opportunity to one up them and use a 1 moa consistent spacing on the B&C or Varmint reticle. At least it appears that way. Looks like another BDC reticle unevenly spaced and calibrated for something.
