Nightforce NX6 Lineup

Its ATACR glass

That is awesome! Thank you for clarifying. I look forward to looking thru one.

If you are stuck in the same booth as the NF team....maybe you can ask them to build a hunting reticle. Just keep it simple. Maven is the closest I have seen.

I agree, I would also add that i can live without the illumination. It just adds weight and ive never used it in any scope I have had.

Is nx8 considered Atacr glass?

It uses ED glass in the areas that make the most impact. It aims for maximum value while leaving enough room for the ATACR to distinguish itself.

What a terrible miss with these reticles.

I see what you did there...

I would be punching in my credit card number if the 3-18x50 had Mil R and the reticle was big at low power and the digilum was green.

No thanks.

Start with this one.

Get rid of the numbers or at least half of them (I can count)

Get rid of the 2.5, 5, 7.5 10 windage marks.

I would like to see what not having half mil lines would look like.

Just clean it up and make it simple. You know for hunting.

Thanks!

The mounting area appears to be pretty short on the 2-12, too. I suspect it will be difficult to position it on some long actions that don’t have a full pic rail.

The spec sheet indicates 5.9" so that should get it on a long Model 70 maybe a long 700 with the right rings & bases.

Clicking through their website, they already have one called FC-Mil that's pretty close.

They also need to offer at least one 2-12 F2 option with mil adjustments.

The 2-12 is close. Needs to be $500 less have a better reticle option. The 4Ai in mils with a few windage marks would work. Maybe a like two elevation marks for quick hold to 350-400yard shots

I own an ATACR and a 4-32 sfp nx8
There's hardly a distinguishable difference in the glass, both are decent but not great, especially for the ATACR price.

Says wide fov, anyone know how wide?

Just compared the 6-36 specs to the 7-35 ATACR and its virtually the same, definitely not a wide angle lens like March or Kahles k540i

Where did you see prices?

It’s the law of diminishing returns. All the money and time is spent chasing the last 10%. The question to the consumer is how much that 10% is worth to you?

I sold my Atacr due to weight, but I did think the glass was better than both my Nx8's. Funny how the glass on Zeiss, Leica, Leupold all beat Nf's best option. I wish we could get some crossbreeding to create the perfect scope. Niess or Nightpold

Someone mentioned the Maven MOA-2 the other day. Take that reticle and get rid of everything below 10moa of elevation and make it a thick crosshair there, like the windage crosshairs (the thick parts). Then maybe get rid of everything above the zero point, except maybe 2-4moa of hashes.

What you'd end up with is something like this:

(Note: this is a 5-minute effort in mspaint. It allows 6moa of wind holds and 6moa of elevation and 2moa of hold-under. You could increase those numbers to 8/8/4 or 10/10/4 and perhaps compromise with the people who say that busy reticles sell better because they appeal to people who don't actually shoot but are enamored with gadgetry)



NO MORE THAN 10moa (or ~2.5mrad) of elevation hashes, and no more than 10MOA per side of windage hashes, in 1/2mrad or 2moa increments. Maybe a single 1/2mrad or 2moa elevation has above the center. *TAPERED* side crosshairs so they can be useful at low power without being obtrusive at higher powers. Heck, taper the bottom also.

I prefer MOA. I'd adapt to .Mrad if that's all they made. At the end of the day I'm more interested in math that serves me - and a 1/2mrad hashmark serves the same purpose as a 2moa hashmark. So, whatever.

I genuinely think I could spend half an hour on a phone call with a scope engineer and make a reticle that 90% of hunters would find to be insanely practical - no need for battery illumination at dusk, no problem finding the reticle at low power and no problem with it being too bold at high power, only the windage and elevation hashmarks that hunters *needed* - we aren't shooting in 30moa of wind or holding 30moa of elevation if we have good turrets.

But, please, stop thinking everyone needs a reticle that looks like an excel spreadsheet.

Camera land link. $1800 on the 2-12

Imagine if Leupolds could pass a drop test and track
