Re: US Optics Mil Reticle options
I prefer the GAP.
It's got what I need to get the job done without being confusing.
If USO would add a "Christmas tree" like the EBR-2 reticle Vortex uses, then it would be perfect IMHO.

Re: US Optics Mil Reticle options
I went Canadian since I was used to the TMR, If I were to do it over I would get the MPR since those last .1 mil differences in ranging are a real deal breaker when you get out and shoot UKD.

What is your take on the differnt Mil reticle options that is currently offered by US Optics? I am looking at the SN-3 TPAL or possibly the SN-9.

I used to have an SN-3 3.2-17X 44mm ERGO Lo Pro with a green illuminated <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">GAP reticle</span></span> and I really liked it. However, there were times where I wished it had the outer MILs' broken down into 0.2 sections like the S & B P4 and P4F. I didn't like the <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">MPR reticle</span></span> because all those long hash lines cover up too much of the target area for my liking.
USO doesn't list it as an option, but they also offer the Premier Reticles Gen 2 XR reticle. I know they offer it for the 3.2-17X, and I'm pretty sure you can get it in the 5-25X T-PAL as well. I've never seen USO's Gen 2 XR diagram so I don't know if the subtensions are the same or similar to either the Gen 2 XR for the S & B or the Premier Heritage scopes.

Re: US Optics Mil Reticle options
I have a Canadian in a 3.2-17 and GAP in a 3.8-22, between the 2, I think the GAP is the way to go.

Re: US Optics Mil Reticle options
I went with the MPR and so far I really like it. I need to get out and range more stuff with it to besure but it looks very promising.

Re: US Optics Mil Reticle options
I have three USO's with mil reticles. One has their standard mildot, its good but the lines are a little thick compared to my other reticles. I don't know if this has changed with their newer scopes, because I got mine used a few years ago. from them.
The second has the GAP-MIL reticle, the lines are much finer and its a very easy reticle to use for hold overs.
My spotter has the MPR, it is a little busier than the GAP but its not too bad. It is an excellent reticle for my spotter because it is easier to make more precise corrections.
If I was to get another USO for a rifle I would get the GAP, just because it is nice and simple and flat out works.

Re: US Optics Mil Reticle options
GAP, but I only use my reticle for spotting misses and hold overs. No ranging for me.

I like the Canadian reticle, my second choice would be the GAP.

You know the ironic thing about your statement is the MPR was designed specifically to mil in the field at unknown distances, and is much easier to get an accurate mil measurements for those unknown distances.

Yes, look at the RDPMIL Scale reticle, it has the finest center crosshair out of all of our reticles.

Re: US Optics Mil Reticle options
Rip'n an SN-3 w/ JNG-Mil reticle. It's sweet. Next SN-3 build will employ the GAP-Mil etching.

Re: US Optics Mil Reticle options
one more vote for MPR, makes it much easier for milling the distance for me.

I've noticed that USO doesn't list a lot of things as options. It would be nice if they would updated their website. I'm not bashing USO. I own one and intend on getting another but I'm just sayin.

MPR.
If you ever need to use holdovers, range estimate or correct a missed shot, it doesn't get any better.

Re: US Optics Mil Reticle options
Saw a SN-9 on the shop table when I was at USO last week in all its OD anodized glory... that scope seemed like it was at least 2' long... it was awe-inspiring and scary at the same time.
It dwarfed my SN-3 TPAL with 35mm tube and 44mm objective.

Re: US Optics Mil Reticle options
I love the Xmas trees. Mine has the H-25 in it but the EBR-2 reticle Vortex uses would be great too. I would like to see a simpler Horus ret myself. I would love an H-425 hunting reticle as they call it created or as close as possible. I just don't need all those mils of hold over like the H25 provides when down on 3.2 power, it looks like a mushroom with an arrowhead.
