What kind of hunting and rifle is it a top choice for, and how is the reticle, in the timber, at around 6X?
I realize the NF reticles work fine when the illumination is on but turning that on is an extra step before the shot. I wish they would offer something with heavier lines like the SWFA mil-quad - not to replace the MIL-R or MOAR reticles, but as an alternative.None of them are what I’d consider “good” for close range low light use. They’re usable most times, and with illumination they are of course visible. As tdbaugha stated, the Mil-R is the most visible- though again the increments are not ideal. Used as a standard .5 mil reticle it’s fine.

I’m in for a group buy of custom Form reticle!So do I.
Agreed. I’d buy at least 3 if they had a clean vertical wire and wind holds on the horizontal. And since we’re dreaming big, shave 6-10 oz too!I realize the NF reticles work fine when the illumination is on but turning that on is an extra step before the shot.

They did a custom one for Gunwerks several years ago. The most usable NF reticle to me. Wish it were still available.I’m in for a group buy of custom Form reticle!
The shv is like a red dot at night. A few predators stalking the chicken coop found that out the hard wayThis “Baby” ATACR has fully illuminated reticle while the SHV 4-14 F1 has center cross only illuminated.
Which would be better choice for general hunting to include close shots in dark background?
Lite and ultra reliable don't go hand in hand.Agreed. I’d buy at least 3 if they had a clean vertical wire and wind holds on the horizontal. And since we’re dreaming big, shave 6-10 oz too!
No don't do it. I already have one and I don't want to know.Any chance of an nx8 review?
At current, you are right, but I refuse to believe that is an absolute truth. We’ve been sending man into space for 50+ years. It can be done. I just don’t think anyone is trying hard enough, because we consumers keep accepting 2 pound scopes.Lite and ultra reliable don't go hand in hand.

They figured out how to make a 20oz nxsLite and ultra reliable don't go hand in hand.
I can attest to the ruggedness/durability of this scope, and the 8oz penalty is weight well spent. Its a good feeling having confidence the rifle is still "on" after a few spills on the mountain.At current, you are right, but I refuse to believe that is an absolute truth.
