I really like the MOAR-T/MOAR. So far it's my favorite reticle for hunting from a stationary spot or varmints. Not even bad for sneaking.

Good ol' LRH forum. Guy asks for a recommendation on a MIL reticle and everyone recommends MOA. I use MIL-C but it's not for everyone.
Like bullets, some guy with 3 to choose from in a question and they hardly get mentioned in replies…! Hahaha

Weiser bucks I'll do one worse... ihr.
Moar being my second favorite....
So in mil I guess I'd reccomend mil r, as it's pretty similar to the moar.

I completely missed the mil part. I guess I made a mistake. Honestly I wasn't trying to convert anyone to MOA against their will. Please accept my humble apology.

MIL C or MIL XT
It depends on the NF model, as the reticles can vary. The mil-R thickness is 0.05 mils thick in the 4-16x42 ATACR, but its 0.036 mils thick in the 5-25 ATACR. Mil-C is 0.04 mils thick in the 4-16x42 ATACR and only extends 5-mils out left & right of center, but for other models it extends out 10-mils left and right.
Personally, I hated the Mil-XT for hunting/cross-over purposes. I prefer the Mil-C in the 4-16x42 ATACR for a cross-over scope. If hunting was the primary factor, I'd get the Mil-R in the 4-16x42 ATACR because it is thicker and will be easier to bracket an animal on low mag. I prefer the 0.2 mil hashes and the floating center dot of the Mil-C, but this is a cross-over scope for my purposes.
