[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 584852, member: 9172"] I have a few NF's. For hunting, go with the NP-R1. I dial almost all of my LR shots. I used to use the NP-R2...figured the 2 moa vertical hashmarks were all I needed. Probably was all that I needed. BUT!!!! The 2MOA vs 5MOA hash marks in the horizontal crosshair is awsome!! I used to have a wind chart on my scope that doped the wind from 300 to 1500 yards with 5, 10, 15, 20 ,25, and 30 MPH speeds. It read in inches and feet. Now, I substitute in MOA ....just dial up and hold left or right the correct amount. My first practiacal shot using the retical was a yote at 805 yards.....fairly stiff cross. I doped 4.4 MOA wind, held a touch past the second hash mark, and POOF.....no more yote!!! Now, I needed to be on 22X for this to work (or 11 x and hold to the first hash mark). That is the only draw back. Some guys are good at judging feet and inches. I am not.........you get to those shots that require 10 feet or more of hold off and I fall apart. Say an 1100 yard shot with an 8moa wind...it is way easier to simply hold to the forth hashmark than to judge what 88 inches is. Just my .02. AND.....if buying new, spend the $$$ get the speed dials and the Zstop!! Or find a good deal on a used one. I buy all of my new stuff from Bill Shehane at D & B supply. He will set you up. Or, find a sponser from this website and support him. Good luck [/QUOTE]
