This is the biggest problem in the industry, I agree.
The end user is never the one driving the design, lately everything is based on PRS/NRL and shooting stuff off the mirror of the PH/Guides truck.

I'm just going to say that the old big folding mirrors on square-bodied chevys were THE BEST for that. Fold the thing down and you have a nice flat surface for a bag. Park the truck right and put one bag on the mirror (turned flat) and on on the door with the window rolled down, and you were golden.

Agree, but I'd really rather not go back to MOA. If they released the 2/-12 SFP 4A with mil turrets I'd be pretty happy with that scope.

I guess. It just seems so incongruous. You're going to have all that elevation adjustment and zero support in the reticle for wind holds.

All I'm saying is, if Horus can put a blueprint to the Pentagon in the bottom half of a reticle, maybe NF could find a way to add two 2-moa windage hashes to each side.

Nightforce design team working on a reticle for the NX6 2-12 F1 that will be "an exceptional companion to lightweight hunting guns."

you cannot please everybody that is a given time. will tell ... but i do see some use for me but again i have other choice for shooting at longer distance and it is time to retire my old 4200 2.5-10x50 with illum german 4 so i cannot complain ...

The resemblance to the old HORUS reticles in the Bushnell Elite line is obvious. I spent about 2 hours one night watching how-to videos and gave up more confused than I started.

15 year old Jake terrorized the local wildlife in a truck very similar to this.. pool noodle on the window works well too.. oh to be young dumb and have no fear of law enforcement again.

It’s like they picked features out of a hat and then made that scope. Capable, dialable 2-12 scope….with a standard duplex reticle, or a tree. So you get way too many holds or none. Why no mil-r or moar? I’m out on these.

I’m on the fence trying to get a SHV 3-10 for my kid. I need simple reticle. Super forgiving eye box. And tough. I get a decent discount on NF stuff so it’s fairly affordable too.

Wondering if waiting to see what they come out with is worth it.

Anyone have any feedback on the SHV?

I’ve used an SHV 3-10 on my main hunting gun for a year now. I’ve never had an issue. I’m pretty rough on scopes, back in my Vortex and Leupold days I just got used to scopes shifting zero and occasionally completely failing. This SHV hasn’t had a zero shift at all, even after being dropped in the rocks a few times and bounced around. I check it every other week with a 10 round group on paper. I’ve been pretty impressed with it.

not every hunter dial with their scope and no every body is holding either so they found maybe a niche for you but good for some that will use some of the scopes for that hunt.

Dang. You mentioned duplex jokingly(?) and I had to go check, because at the end of the day their basic duplex does more of the things I want to do, than their cluttered stuff does.

Why ever shoot at 3x? I am not sure there are very many scenarios where 6x minimum wouldn't work. Half this forum worships the fixed 6x.

Tight cover follow up shots. I hunt hogs a lot. Happens all the time. And you need to FOV when they jump up at close range. Same with dark timber elk hunting.

Just need to clean it up. Who needs a 2.5 exagerated line? Not sure there is value in .5 lines either. The brain can process a lot if we get the clutter out if the way. I am trying shoot an animal not a ten spot card. And I am pretty sure I can count to 5.

Just my 2 cents.

I don’t know what the on off switch you’re talking about is. Please clarify.

My assertion was that 95% of harvests are inside of 300, so, the following applies.

A slippery bullet in most common chamberings with a 225 yard zero will get you to point and shoot to 250 and easy hold to 300. I don’t need to dial and I don’t need subtensions for that, I just need some basic knowledge of anatomy. If you can’t hold up to 4 inches for wind without a subtension, that’s a problem. You don’t need high mag for 300, and the target image isn’t going to appear too small to accurately aim, so what exactly is the issue with SFP

Going to max mag is issue. Only works at one point at the far end of the range of mag given. Remembering to get there as one variable easily eliminated by ffp.

I’m same in Mpbr and to 300, and agree majority of it happens there, I generally shoot first and ask rangefinder later what happened, almost always right before folding the tag lol.

So yes make reticles work here (low mag to 300 Mpbr), but if it happens to be preferable for spotting misses or low light or both to be at 6 or 8x then that visible solution ready to rock in reticle, far more valuable than remembering to go to max mag let alone lose spotting or visibility due to less exit pupil.

Not everyone wants to dial either, or can even see the turret without readers or lack of light. So dialling is a step and if you have to dial the mag ring and the turret there’s a couple things slowing your ass down.

I’m a lean into wind guy too so highly unlikely to use windage if going longer. So be just as happy with those simpler mil r, fc mil lower stadia without wind but having the dmx the tree isn’t annoying to me at all, it doesn’t get in way and maybe even helps referencing (especially in case of dmx non illuminated tree) as there’s more line to pick up. I thought it would be annoying but it’s not to me. So I don’t care as much about the beyond mpbr side of it as I do the low mag side of it and that dmx with 4 mil donut and heavy sides excellent. The fc mil eith dmx donut be ideal for me and cap off the south mil wherever you like as I’d likely never need more than 4 mil for scaring a coyote at best as it’s about a mil further than I’m gonna contemplate filling a tag at with a 205 zero.

You guys need to quit giving excuses- Rokslide drives a pretty large portion of multiple markets and companies admit it. NF and everyone else gets repeatedly asked or told to make reticles for hunting at every show.

The reason that companies aren’t making reticles that fit the actual need is 100% because the companies do not have people that make decisions that actually hunt. They might shoot a deer in a field, and they might go on a guided elk hunt or to Africa- but they don’t broad base hunt seriously. That’s it. That’s the whole answer.

It’s wild how many Random people refer to the drop test evals.

I have a burris xtr 2 with a g2b mildot reticle. There are a lot of things about that scope that needed improved, but it is the favorite reticle I have used for 0-700 yard hunting. It should work further and I have shot steel with it a lot further, just no hunting shots past 700. You can see it at low power and it is barely small enough not to be a hindrance on high power, it is simple as hell, and I doubt one would have to pay royalties to use it.

The thlr looks to be better, but I have not used one. I also think you could carefully design a better hunting reticle, but the g2b solves a lot of the issues people are complaining about and is plenty fine for big game shooting at longer range.

Yup, we reference bow site pins every 10 yards just fine. 1 mil would work good for me too. It’s all referencing, less is often more.

 

[RifleDisciple]

@EuroOptic tell NF to stick this reticle in the 2-12.

Came here to say this! I mean not everyone loves a tree reticle.
