NF SHV 4-14x50, MOAR vs Mil R visibility

[SDHNTR]

Has anyone compared the reticles between the MOAR and the mil R?I don’t care about the measurement increments, I care about which is more visible at low power. Is there a difference? Is one easier to see than the other?

They are both bad. The MOAR reticle is less bad.

They are both bad. The MOAR reticle is less bad.

Do you currently own both? Would love to see pictures of the reticle at 4x to compare.

I don't own either in FFP any more. Sold them due to bad reticle at low power. I only have a MOAR in SHV 3-10 SFP. The reticle is OK there, but is sized for 10X. On the FFP scopes the reticles were hair thin and easily lost in darker bush. The Mil-R reticle was particularly bad with the gaps in the stadia. Not only hard to see, but even hard to use at longer ranges. The gaps just require more mental work than a simpler hash mark hold off/correction.

I looked at the NX8 and the problem is even worse now that they have the huge mag ranges. A reticle that is going to look OK at 20 or 32X is very thin at 4X.

Well that’s lame!

I like NF scopes and run them on most of my rifles, but it's just clear that their ranging reticles are made for high power and they just don't seem too concerned for people using the FFP scopes in the 4-8X range. My hunting rifles use SFP scopes as a result. It's not a big deal because if I need accurate hold-offs I'm usually at max power anyway (10X).
