I have been looking at and researching MOA based reticle scopes. I am looking for a grid type reticle for quick precise follow up shots with MOA based subtensions and adjustments for easier math when ranging and smaller adjustment increments with quality glass and front focal plane minimum 20x. It would be put on a savage 12 LRP 6.5 creedmoor and maybe a savage 111 300WM. I would like to stay at or under $1500 mark. I currently am using Pimary Arms 4-14x44 FFP with R-Grid reticle MIL based. I like it but I can really see the need for better glass at further distances and varying conditions. It has worked well sub 1/2 MOA groups at 500yds even took out a jack rabbit at 780yds with it. The Leupold Mark 4 lr/t 6.5-20x50 with the TS-29 X1 reticle seems to be the close to what I am wanting as far as quality and criteria but it isn't a FFP scope. I contacted Leupold and they said the MOA subtensions are calibrated for max power setting so 20x. The next I have seen would be the Burris XTR II 8-40x50 with F-Class MOA reticle. It isn't a full grid type reticle is the down fall there. Anybody have experience with these 2 or others they would recommend? Sorry for the wordy post just wanting to lay out my thought process. Thanks in advance for the input!!!
 
The Burris XTR2 in the 4-20 and 5-25 have the SCR MOA reticle option and they're pretty decent reticles. My favorite reticle is the MOAK reticle from Kahles in the K624i but be prepared to shell out some major coin for that one. The vortex Razor with EBR-2B reticle would work well for you if you're used to the Christmas tree style.

Wooo that Kahles is a little pricey.
 
Razor Gen1 with the EBR-2B reticle will look real familiar to what you've used. The Burris XTR2 and NF SHV F1 would be excellent options for less than $1500 with the NF having better glass and the Burris having better features.

I have not used vortex stuff much at all and mainly binoculars. I have heard/read good and bad of the tracking in the vortex razors and clarity is good but blurrs at the edges. Is that what you have experienced or is it just bull?
 
nightforce NXS 3.5-15 should be your huckleberry. the scope has plenty of power for long range shots and the reticle is my favorite in that power class of scopes. the reticle doesn't work well in the 2.5-10x models.

Have you considered Darrell Holland's scope with ART or have a compatible scope with ART installed?
 
Great reticle design and I love the center dot. But I've read a lot of opinions and seen some pics/videos and this reticle in their FFP scopes is extremely thin even at max zoom, off the top of my head I want to say .1 moa thickness. Great for target shooting with high-contrast backgrounds, not so much for hunting. Depends on what the OP's end use will be. Granted, I've never actually looked at this reticle in person.
