NP-R1 or NP-R2

[Strick9]

I am curious as to what you owners think between the two,,my use would be whitetail to elk size game at 100 -800 and maybe further,, IT seems that the NP-R1 is suited for a more accurate breakdown of MOA and thus shoud allow the shooter to have a more accurate elevation and windage adjustment..which do you prefer???Kind Regards...

R2.......R1 way to busy for me!

With regards to the R2, what is the purpose of 5MOA between bars on the horizontal line - how would this actually be used in any meaningful way ? It is certainly much too wide for any type of accurate windage adjustemetns using just the reticle.

Wouldn't it make more sense if the 5 MOA was 2 MOA, similar to the vertical line ?

I agree with ya! 2 moa would be more useable I dont get to 5 moa till I reach a 900 yards but I belive thats in a 10 mph wind what if winds were in the 20mph range. Still argee just as easy to dail 1-3 moa.

I have the 1R and simply love it! Not busy for me at all. The nice thing with NF, don't like it...doesn't cost much to switch out...

The 5 MOA spacing on the NP-R2 is the reason I went with the R1. I don't like dialing windage because I crank the sucker the wrong way half the time. The 2MOA marks on the R1 horizontal line are better for windage hold offs IMO. I'll admit the R1 is a little busy but after using it for a while you get used to it. I like the 1 MOA vertical spacing because I can either dial or use the reticle. I have tried dialing in 11 MOA at 600 yard and then returned to zero and held over 11 MOA using the reticle they had the same point of impact. If I buy another one it will be a NP-R1.

I use R2s simply for the reason that my eyesight is not great and I find the R1 fuzzy when I spend alot of time looking through the scope.
Now if my eyes were better I would likelt go R1s as the spacing makes more sense for minor comeups without having to touch the turrets.
Both work great, it just personal preference.

I have both. I use the R1 for F-Class and long range Target. The R2 is easier for me in hunting situations where placement may not be as critical. (meaning 1 inch one way or the other is probably not going to make that much difference)

I have and use the R1. The 5 MOA windage from the R2 was a bit too wide for my "holding" needs on the range and in competitions.
