[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1029862, member: 50867"] It would depend on how I wanted to use the scope. I have a Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20X50 with a MilDot reticle. That, IMO, was a mistake. I'm accustomed to MilDot scopes taking their measurements at their highest power. You'll find that, at 20x, the dot spacing is 1.8 inches (1.88 MOA). That makes ranging difficult for long range shooting. I also find that the hash marks for indicating scope settings for elevation are slightly out of index. That's annoying. My son's NF with MOAR reticle is easier to use, has better optics, is more ruggedly built and when it's dialed in the hash marks line up perfectly. I used it on a hunting trip a couple of years ago and found it provided a much higher level of confidence than my Zeiss Conquest. IMO, the MilDot reticle is helpful for ranging my targets in the field but I use a high quality range finder so the need for another style of the same instrument offers no real value. I'd go for the NF ..... Now about price :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
