Help with Nightforce Reticle Choices

[cpatbay]

I am about to pull the trigger on a Nightforce scope but can't decide on which reticle. For mostly range and tactical applications, which is a better choice; the NP-R2 or the Mil Dot?

Thanks.

The main difference is preference. There is a member (pthfinder i believe) that did a very good comparison of the two. It is in the forums somewhere. I prefer MIL but that is me. I can strongly suggest though that it really helps to have the turrets match the reticle.

.25 MOA turrets w/ NP-R2
.1 MRAD turrets w/ Mil Dot

Depends on the scope and whether or not you want to go MOA or MIL. On a Nightforce 1-4x or 2.5-10x that you wanted to go MOA with I would recommend a NP-R2. If you wanted to do MOA on a 3-15x Second Focal Plane or 5.5-22x second focal plane go with a NPR-1. For Mil on a 3-15x or 5.5-22x do an MLR.

On a 3-15x F1 do an NPR-F1 for MOA (we have this in-stock right now) or the new MLR2 for MIL.

thanks,

This is key, make the reticle and knobs match. Unless you enjoy doing math

I can strongly suggest though that it really helps to have the turrets match the reticle.

I don't have a use for mildots right now. My NXSes have NP-R1 and NP-1RR reticles. If I had it to do over again, I'd probably get a BR 12-42x instead of a NXS with a CH-1 for one of them and keep the NP-R1 on the other.
