[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 494243, member: 21068"] +1!!:) Well stated. I bought my first NF over 15 years ago, really glad I did. For about the last 20 yrs, I've tried to buy the best optics I could afford. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right the first time. 20 yrs ago, a guy could get a decent LR scope for $500 or so, but they're about twice that much now for the same thing. Like the article on mil vs moa said, it's alot about personal preference. I personally really like a moa reticle over a mil reticle. I've used em both, and for my eyes, it's simply easier to visually break down the spaces into 1/4's rather than 1/10's. For really quick ranging/holdover at "normal" distances (maybe out to 500 or 600 yds with flat shooting guns) I feel using Shooters Moa or IPHY is the easiest and quickest of all..........very intuitive and simple/quick calculations. Personally, I need to use a calculator for more precise ranging with either mil or true moa because I don't do the math very good in my head, so that part is a wash for me. Different strokes for different folks, what I like someone else may not. The debate over mil vs moa will go on forever, but they are both highly versatile, and both do the jobs they are intended for within reason..........A quality laser RF will out perform a reticle for ranging any day of the week, so long as you have time to use it.
