Night Vision Proving out the Halo LR reticle

[Killswitch Engage]

So plenty of us have wanted to know if the reticle subtensions are legit and accurate to use for known dope holds on target. I decided to try it at 500yd with my 6.5cm gas gun. I warmed the center of my full size ipsc and shot 3 rds standing from my tripod. Wasn’t trying to do anything beyond see if the reticle matches the data. I heated at the water line of the steel. Held 2.2mil and I’d say the reticle is spot on as well as I am able to hold.

Damn right!

It was heavy 12-14 full value wind as well. Thought I had enough but obviously not

What load are you using? I’m building a gas 6.5 currently for yotes and such

I’m running federal 95vmax factory ammo in this

I've been under the impression it was very close as well.

I was just discussing putting two pieces of reflective tape 10.8" apart on cardboard at 100 yards to give a quantifiable metric to show

I’ve done that as well. It subtends correctly

Nice....

Looking at a Halo LR myself and have been curious about the reticle and sub tensions.

 

[slim023]

very nice. I wish it was FFP instead of SFP so i don't make a mistake and not think about the mag level

that would be handy but its really a non issue since it subtends evenly at all the magnifications.

 

[324matt]

Do you prefer the MRAD or MOA reticles?

 

[ccasanova]

Please explain this to me. Does doubling the mag 1/2 the mils?

 

[PlinkIt]

I half sleep so let's see how bad I screw this up

So on Halo LR If each line is
1 mil at 2x then it will be as follows:

2mil at 1x (native mag of 3.5x)
1 mil at 2x (7x)
.5 mil at 4x (14x)

For Halo 25mm
1 mil at 4x then it will be:

4 mil at 1x (native 1.75)
2 mil at 2x (3.5x)
1 mil at 4x (7x)

 

[ccasanova]

And .5mil at 8x (14x) ? [For the 25mm]

 

[PlinkIt]

I think you've got it

 

[Max_R]

@ccasanova, you are correct.

Please explain this to me. Does doubling the mag 1/2 the mils?

I should be getting my LR back from N-Vision any day now. I sent it in for the software update so I could use the new reticles. I told them to charge me for that rangefinder that people keep rumoring about but I didn’t get any takers in the sales department.

 

[car16smg]

Maybe it’ll be an upgrade situation like how Trijicon upgrades lenses!

 

[dang472]

Man I hope so. A $1k add on rangefinder would be so worth it and send a ton of people over the fence from Trijicon.

 

[PlinkIt]

Ah... Wait!! What?...

Rangefinder from NVision?!?

What rock have I been under?...

 

[dang472]

Just some rumors floating around. I planned on badgering them at the NRA convention but the damn covids ruined it. I just threw it out there hoping the sales team would let it slip. No dice.
I was also promised an updated Radius type weapon mounted rangefinder in the near future but the World AIDS must have killed that dream too.
