[QUOTE="Shawn Carlock, post: 57388, member: 4"] I have to totally agree with Ian on your scope issues. The Nightforce NXS 5.5-22 NPR2 is my personel pick as well. I also dial in to achieve hits at range, but in the event of a miss the second shot correction is very quick and in the field seems to be more accurate. I believe that seeing a miss go 12" over and 6 " to the right is quicker and more accurately corrected by moving say 1 mark (2.00 MOA) down and 1/4 mark left (1.00 MOA)(before anyone emails me I know it should be more accurately 1/5 of a bar) than it is to convert the inches to MOA and dial the additional correction. Also there is a greater error factor when trying to guage the inches of miss with a standard reticule, if you miss by a bar and a half up and a 1/4 bar right it is an accurate adjustment to simply hold a bar and a half and a 1/4 bar in the opposite direction. If you have a standard style reticule you are depending only on your ability to <u>guess</u> the inches off of target you are. For those reasons I would pick the NPR2. If you get a standard style reticule and change or advance your abilities your stuck with it, the NPR2 will work well both ways. I have 2 friends who are disabled and LR hunting is the only practical way for them to enjoy hunting, glad to here you have stuck with it. There are <u>few</u> greater enjoyments than precision shooting. [/QUOTE]
