[QUOTE="Tulsa Reiner, post: 1639449, member: 75815"] I would just say that you are looking at an excellent long range scope. I have one and love it, for too many reasons to describe here. The NF owner's manual that comes with the scope describes the details of the reticle. But your first decision has to be do you want a reticle that is graduated in MOA (minutes of angle) or Mil rads (milliradians)? I chose MOA (the MOAR reticle for NF) because I can easily understand it and calculate the MOA for different distances going out. The milrad system seems to be what the military teaches and uses. The Zerostop feature on the nicer NF's is very helpful. It allows you to easily crank the vertical cross hair back to the starting point, after you have adjusted it for a specific shot longer than your zero (usually 100 yds). BTW: the multiple hash marks on the vertical cross hair are for adjustment of your point of aim if you don't want to take the time to reach up and adjust the turret (usually a hunting situation). In target shooting, it is easier and more precise to turn the vertical turret to adjust the point of aim. [/QUOTE]
