NP-R1 reticle thoughts

[jlvandersnick]

I see a lot of used Nightforce scopes with the NP-R1 reticle for sale. I do know the reticle has been discontinued by nightforce. Does anyone have any thoughts as to why the reticle is not very popular.

It was very popular in its day. That is why you see so many used ones for sale. The new reticles have numerical markings at various MOA hashmarks. Also the NP-R1 had 2 MOA hashes for windage and the newer ones have 1 MOA for windage. The reticles have just evolved and gotten more feature rich over time.

I have one and honestly I really like it. I have no complaints at all.

I have this reticle in a 3-15 NXS on my 243 for Varmints. It is one of my favorites

I have the NP-R1 reticle in my NF NXS 5.5-22. I love this reticle! Very easy to use, & I don't understand why NF discontinued it!!!!! I'll be looking for a used NXS with this reticle in the future! Idaho-5R

it is easier for hold offs then the NP - R2.

If I remember correctly, I read in Nightforce's literature, the MOAR replaces the NP=R1, They even said the NP-R1 was their "most popular reticle"! Seems to me they could have kept the NP-R1, & replaced another, less popular one! Just my own opinion!
