[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 298594, member: 1521"] The holdover scheme described for an NP-R1 is really more complicated than simply dialing in your MOA. The NP-R1 has 30 TOTAL graduations(not 10 above and 30 below). But I find it hard to believe anyone would try finding and fixing on one of these lines, while aiming and minding level. I couldn't do it... Let's run through it another way with the example given. I setup software drop to simulate 10moa from 100yds to 710yds. I just through in .900BC@3270fps 100yds = -10moa 710yds = 0moa Then 200yds = -9moa 285yds = -8moa 345yds = -7moa 405yds = -6moa 460yds = -5moa 515yds = -4moa 565yds = -3moa 615yds = -2moa 755yds = -1moa Now, assuming you're using a laser rangefinder, and a field dropchart, what are you gonna do with a target ranging at 485? You gonna count up to 4th or 5th lines, and with a fix on it move to the target, then holdoff some amount in elevation and wind(without getting mixed up)? What you should be lookin at for 485 is the crosshair on target or 2" into a 5mph wind, and your scopelevel. This, after dialing 22clks per your field drop chart. My vote goes to Nightforce's CH1 reticle, and standard 1/4moa turret clicks. [/QUOTE]
