Re: Ranging with NF NP-R1
It's very exact for NF scopes. I do it all the time, that is why the only settings I use is 22x, 11x, and 5.5x.
Just yesterday I was looking at a lifted truck:
- In 22x mode, the truck was 9 NPR-1-hashmarks high(1 hash = 1 MOA)
- In 11x mode, the same truck was 4.5 NPR-1-hashmarks high(1 hash = 2 MOA)
- In 5.5x mode, the same truck was 2.25 NPR-1-hashmarks high (1 hash = 4 MOA).
As you can see in all cases the truck is 9 MOA high no matter how you look at it.
I estimate a lifted truck like this to be about 7ft high (84"). 84/10 = only 8.4 MOA (1000 yards)... 84/9 is about 9.3 MOA (900 yards)... so that means the truck was about 930 yards away
This another reason I like MOA reticles, I know how to range them! This is because I am an American I think in inches and yards.
And this is another reason why I don't think FFP is worth the extra cost. Because 3 mag levels (5.5, 11, and 22) is more than plenty for me.
Sorry for the non-ansel-adams blurry pics.. but these are not art, and just reference
