[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 464052, member: 319"] This has been a problem with the NF F1 as they haven't had any decent FFP reticles for it. The MLR basically disappears on low power. However they've finally come out with some decent reticles which should be very nice (available in 60 days or so): [img]http://www.jonaadland.com/Hunting/NFSHOT.png[/img] Keep in mind, a decent FFP reticle will be easier to see and faster to use on low power than the SFP R1, R2 and MLR reticles are. This should be moot because unless you're "ranging" an object (which does make the math easier for MOA but few of us here ever do instead of using a LRF) there's no reason you should be thinking in inches or measuring your misses in inches. Any time you spend thinking inches is wasted effort. The only way you can even know you are 4" off at 800 yds is to know the size of the target and "guesstimate" it from that. Or walk out there with a ruler and measure it. Then, knowing the range, you can use the "easy math" to calculate you are 1/2 MOA off. It is much, much, easier to simply measure how far off you are in MOA or Mils with your reticle. Then either hold that with your reticle or dial it into your turrets. No inches ever required. And no guesstimation--only a direct measurement of anglular unit (either one works just fine). You don't need to know the size of the target, or the distance to the target. [/QUOTE]
