[QUOTE="StanleyActual, post: 2237306, member: 119220"] Reticles are HIGHLY personal preference. What one guy hates and other guy loves. Personally not a fan or Leupolds retcicle options apart from the H59 and T3. I do like NF and the Khales selections of reticles. I think the Khales line of SKMR reticles is the prefect go between of the standard Mil dot and a full blown Horus X-Mas tree reticle. And I really like the floating center dots. Everything comes at a cost. Big mag ranges, compact optics will sacrifice big eye boxes, FOV etc. just need to get behind them and see if it the sacrifice is worth it to you or not. The other downfall of NF for hunting purposes is the weight, but theyre well built and can take a beating. I’ve yet to ever have a NF go down on me. They’re great scopes. FFP vs SFP. That’s ultimately going to depend on your style / location of the hunting you’re doing. All my optics are FFP. I dial for elevation and hold for windage so I need that reticle scale to be correct regardless what magnification I’m on. That being said, if you’re spending the majority of your time hunting within a few hundred yards or thick timber etc and you’re mag range is running in the 2-3 x, that FFP reticle scale is pretty unusable. My preferred optics in this order are Khales. NF and the Mk5 Leupolds. Leupolds are typically reserved for more hunting oriented builds for weight reasons alone. I really like the NF NX8 optics ranges for hunting rifles. 2-20, 4-32’s are great ranges and now I’m waivering between a MK5 5-25 and the NX8 4-32 for my 7 Max build. I need to get behind an NX8 though because I have heard of touchy eye box and FOV issues with the NX8. Most of those upper tier optics are going to be so close in features and optical quality that you’re gonna be hard pressed to see the difference with the naked eye. so my a advise would be to find a reticle you like and go from there.
