NIghtforce with Mil-dot reticle

[ronas]

Is anyone using a Nightforce with the mil-dot reticle with the open circles?

I'm looking for some feedback good or bad.

I have been informed that mil-dot are kind of old be that reticle seem simple and uncluttered to me. I'm seriously considering it for the Nightforce 22x scope.

When I bought my Nightforce a few years ago, I looked at the mil dot and the MLR. I chose the MLR over the mil dot since the MLR has 1/2 mil hashes and I have found it to be accurate for using wind and elevation hold offs.

The Nightforce mil dot is better than other mil dots on the market due to the open circles. For me though, I preferred the MLR and I am happy with it.

The only thing I'm sorry about is, I should have bought mil mil. My scope adjustments are .25 MOA, not really a big deal, but now I wish I had mil E&W adjustments.

That's a good point. I'm hopping that some at our range has the MLR in a Nightforce that I can look thru. Without having every looked thru that reticle at high power as was thinking it would be the busy with all the hash marks.

^^ This is the way to go. mlr/mil. I have the NPR-1 reticle with moa knobs and it's good enough but if I had to do all over again, I'd go with the mlr/mil.

It's not. The MLR is the most popular mil reticle NF sells - for a reason. Very easy to use and not cluttered.

I agree Pthfndr, the MLR is the one we sell the most of. I will say the NF MIL-DOT is one of my favorite MIL-DOT RETs. on the market.

I run the MLR/Mrad...works great.

I took a look at the mildot before and I have a hard time ranging too far with circles. I much rather use hash marks because it is much clearer to me personally.

I have the Mil/MLR Nightforce. If I had to do it again, I would get a regular MIL reticle. I find the MLR to be too fine for my eyes, and in certain conditions can hardly see it. The MIL reticle is a little bolder, if that's the right word and much more clear. This is when I am wearing my prescription lenses.

I decided the best choice for my 16" barreled OBR 556 is the NSX 2.5-10x32, MOA, with zero stop and np-r2 reticle mounted in a TR125 Bobro mount.

Realize I am late to the discussion, but for the 2.5-10 range I like their new "Velocity" reticles. Picked up an NSX 2.5-10x32 Zero Stop with the Velocity reticle earlier this year and like it quite a bit. Basically what you got with a different set of crosshairs.

The Velocity reticles are designed for more dynamic shooting than target shooting - things like hunting. They are designed to handle the old "Kentucky Windage" calculations you need to make with a target that doesn't always stand still and let you figure things out.

I like the MLR/NP reticles for static shots (I trained with them), but the newer dynamic ones are starting to grow on me. Nightforce is not alone in offering these options, so you are not limited to that brand. Whether they end up sticking or becoming the latest fad is beyond my wisdom, but I like them and hope they stay.

No matter what the crosshairs look like, you are going to like that glass. Have mine in a LaRue and can move it between rifles with little/no adjustment (once I got things settled out). The LaRue mount is bomb-proof and I'd suggest looking at one if you get another optic someday. No lapping required, either.

Enjoy.

Thank you for the order.
