[QUOTE="Broz, post: 744063, member: 7503"] Scott we did discuss the Market for such a reticle and I understand what you are saying. But, if this is the case, how do you explain why the thinner NP-R1 has been their best selling reticle? Also you stated "[I][B]and isn't even necessary for LR hunting[/B][/I]." Well, please remember we are talking in the ELR forum. I feel your statement is directly related to distance. Maybe not necessary for lesser distances, but surely you agree better for the longer shots past 1000. And also lets remember that the 120 moa of elevation was surely not refined for shots at 1000 or less where 20 to 25 moa would be a normal dial up. Even if a "0" cant base was used (and who would do that?) the 60 MOA that would be available from the ATACR would get a standard 338 Lapua with a 300 Berger to a mile. Now who wants a thick reticle for that type of shooting? I know of no dark timbers that will support a mile shot. I also feel that most responsible long range hunters will be requiring the best of condition for a shot at these distances and loosing the reticle in fading light would not be an issue. That said the RP-R1 has served me well for years of hunting during legal hours and truly it is not that thin of a reticle, it covers a nice 3/4" line at only 1000 yards. Jeff [/QUOTE]
