[QUOTE="SouthTXBowhunter, post: 258979, member: 13266"] I neep to pick a reticle for the Nightforce I'm ordering and I'm wondering which one's yall think are the best for hunting- AND WHY? I'm either ordering a 3.5-15x50 NXS or a 3.5-15x56 NXS I will be using the scope for all types of hunting- both conventional and long range- and I do a LOT of very low-light and legal night (moonlight) hunting, for hogs and predators. One of my concerns about ordering one of the '[I]busier' [/I]reticles is all the light they will emit when illuminated. Often, when we're hunting at night, with no suplementary light, illuminated reticles actually make it HARDER to see the target; because they are so bright they constrict the pupil. I know the scope has a lot of settings and Nightforce has assured me the lower settings will be very dim, yet still visible, and that they shouldn't interfere with target acquitition. However, I'm still a little concerned. So, the reticles that [I]I[/I] am considering are the: NP-R1, NP-R2, Mildot and MLR [B]Can I get some opinions on which reticle is the best all-around hunting reticle and WHY you think so? I'm [I]particularly[/I] interested in hearing if you've had experience shooting in very low light or at night with it; but I'd like tohear from everyone that uses a Nightforce scope for hunting[/B] Nick [/QUOTE]
