My two projects on scopes this year are a 0-8 to see what's possible on a SCAR17 replacing an aimpoint (discussed in my other thread, now delivered and installed on the SCAR, testing underway when the weather goes back to normal) and changing calibers on my (trusted) Sako TRG which means a new scope on a new rifle. It will be the above NF> BUT my current and go to TRG scope has been a NF F1 NXS with a very simple reticle. So I asking which of the available options would be your choice and why? Looking at them they all look pretty busy comparatively. but maybe some of these are better. On my own I'd pick mil-xt, but hopefully one of usual experts can comment and help before I order this sucker(fritz!). “So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.” | ||

I'm not an expert, but I do have opinions on NF. If you prefer a mil reticle, I think their mil-xt is the best version. The Christmas-tree holdover portion of the reticle is pretty well designed. I would like to see it live -- to determine if it's easily visible, but not so bold as to hide impacts below the central cross hairs. I still think NF's mil-base primary vertical and horizontal lines are wonky. The concept of .2 and .8 pointing down, & .4 and .6 mils pointing up is odd. I like NF's MOAR reticle, mainly because it is clean and uncluttered. FWIW all my scopes are MOA-based. On a regular basis in steel matches I hold windage and elevation at the same time, when time constraints don't allow dialing elevation. I realize this isn't optimal with the simple MOAR reticle, but I've missed very few targets due to improper holds. | |||

I own two NF ATACR scopes with the Tremor3 reticle. It's similar to the new Mil-XT but also has wind dots and hold overs for movers. I can say from personal experience that it is not busy when you look through it. Don't be turned off by pictures of the reticles. Once you get behind them they aren't busy at all, nor do they interfere with spotting misses. Making quick corrections are what they were designed for. I was able to spot an impact that was two mils low at 700 yards in the grass on a sunny day last summer. I've grown to like christmas tree style reticles and those are the only two choices NF offers. I'm on a pre-order list for the new Mil-xt. | |||

The MOAR-T reticle is outstanding in my opinion, clean and precise. | |||

I have the ATACR 5-25x 56 with the MOAR-t reticle and love it. I have it on my Scar 17 which is way to much glass but boy it is fun to shoot! I will eventually get a Tikka or RUger Precison to put it on. Hmm, I wonder if it will fit on my Ruger 10/22  | |||

I'm committed to dialing mils as that is what I have been using forever. So however good an MOA reticle is I'm not using MOAR. Thanks for the advice above. “So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.” | |||

The mil reticle I like the best is the Gen2 XR. I've seen it in Tangent Theta scopes. Tangent scopes are expensive, but they quite nice. It's my understanding that a Gen3 XR reticle is coming soon. Not an ATACR scope, but a possible option. | |||

Thanks for the suggestion. There are lots of great high end scopes out there that would be very acceptable, but based on my real world experience with abusing several NF's I'm sticking to them for this project. “So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.” | |||
