[QUOTE="DZelenka, post: 497307, member: 20543"] I am currently struggling with the same dilemma. I won a NF scope and cannot figure out a reticle that suits my style. What I would like is the R1 windage with the R2 elevation. 2MOA hash marks on both crosshairs. I don't think that the R2 windage marks are very useful. Even with a .280 shooting 140BTs, the first windage hash would be necessary in a 13 mph full value wind at 600. With a better bullet and some more speed, the wind would really have to be blowing to make the mark useful at that distance. For 1000 yards it may be a good choice. The R1 is useful for windage but a bit busy for elevation. From a hunters standpoint, the 1MOA lines don't help. Plus, it isn't too difficult to dial up. The only other NF reticle I looked at was the NP-1. Has anyone used it? What are the pluses and minuses? Finally, has anyone seen the Velocity 1000? How likely is it hitting stores in 2011? I see how it could be fast and useful for a hunter, but why have the externally adjustable turrets. It seems to me this reticle works well with a traditional adjustment system with scope caps. After all, it seems like you sight it in and all of the elevation and windage aiming points are available in the scope. Thanks Dan [/QUOTE]
