Is it better than metric I don’t know you guys can argue that one out. All I know is it would cost thousands to change over now. I do find it much easier to make corrections from a bullet splash with the NP-R2 compared to the mil reticule though.
    Have you tried the NP-R1 reticle ?
    A big fast bullet beats a little fast bullet every time

    No but I have looked through them. The hairs are very fine. I shyed away for hunting but then the NP-R2 is often too fine as well. Fortunately the NF illumination is excellent and seems to run forever and with that on you see into shadows no problem at all. In hind sight the NP-R1 may have been better for the shooting I am doing. The 2 moa ele and 4 moa wind is a little too much for making corrections at times.
