[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1940629, member: 10291"] Shown are my two most used rifles for my most frequent applications. A Nightforce F1 5x25 ATACR FFP/MIL mounted on my PRS rifle, and a Nightforce F2 5x25 ATACR SFP/MOA mounted on my LR hunting rifle. Both scope purchased at the time of introduction, they display comparable dimensions, glass, and mechanical characteristics....except for the difference of MOA vs MIL, and front vs second plane. The PRS rifles F2 is longer because it has the sunshade attached. The cost difference at the time of purchase was and additional $400(+15%) for the F2. The reticles are MIL-R on the F1 and MOAR on the F2. While I prefer the simplicity of the MIL-R on the F1, upgrading to a more sophisticated reticle such as the TREMOR3 would have added as much as an additional $400. While I have interchanged the scopes on my hunting rifle with comparable results, I haven’t used the F2(SFP/MOA)on my PRS rifle. While I could perhaps get by with the MOA system of the F2, the increased click values and finer reticle substentions of the SFP would prove a hindrance in optimizing my times. A SFP for the varied distances would be a show stopper for reticle use only stages. For hunting, I prefer the SFP/MOA. Easily, +90% of the time, my hunting scopes are used at HALF or MAX magnification. The magnification ring is marked for both settings. Windage holds are easily adjusted if needed Full or half substention values. Unlike the static conditions of a PRS match setting, my 70 year old brain thinks in yards, feet, and inches, particularly in the wilds. With decades of mental ballistic, wind, distance, and animal/antler sizing calculations using MOA, this system is well imbedded, and instinctive for me. I will say that aside from being on the heavy side at 38Oz, it soon becomes an afterthought given the overall performance/quality of these scopes.
