600 yard benchrest scope?

[DngBat7]

I noticed that Ibs 600 yard benchrest equipment list has many nightforce’s listed. I am assuming the 15-55. Which is considered the best (nightforce) reticle for 600 yard benchrest.

Best reticle for 1k br

As the title reads, I’m interested in what the competitors feel is the most useful style of reticle and why.

I have shot short range stuff for decades and loved the fine cross hair dot for that stuff. Now shooting mid range and have found the FCR1 Nightforce reticle most helpful and I am now only buy that one for long range. The FCR1 reticle has the hash marks in the scope which helps with hold off when the wind is blowing (most days) - Some people like to wind the scopes to there condition and shoot that, but it gets tricky in conditions which are changing during the day or worst still changes mid detail - I have often seen 2 minutes of hold in one direction and then it changes almost 180 degree's and its 2 mins the other way, no problem with the hash marks and you still have your zero if the wind drops off to nothing. Enjoy.

Don't forget the BR Nightforce scopes. They are 12-42X and have excellent mechanical qualities. Lots of them are on the 600 line in competition at a far lower cost than the Competition models.

DDR-2 reticle is very popular in 600-yard benchrest.

Sorry, the one that YOU like. ( most uses the DDR-2 or some sort of floating dot ))
Some like the cross hair reticle, I personally
won't us anything other than a floating dot anymore.
Look at the FCR-1 and the DDR-2 and see what you like.
Just don't look at the sky or woods, look at the target you plan
on shooting at the most.

I have a march 48x hm and love it. Me and one other guy at our club matches (SRBR) are the only one. Almost everybody else have the 15-55. I look through both regularly. March is a little darker and the eyebox I feel is more generous. The NF I like the contrast and brightness. Equally as sharp as my March. So I figured I’d give one a try knowing soon I will be getting involved in longer range. Tho I do know that with mirage, my March is a bit clearer than theirs. If you have other options, fill me in.

This was more of a reticle question for me. I want good solid scope with a wide power range. Since I am not in a position to buy multiple scopes, I wanted a really good all purpose high quality scope that I can use as a backup to my March for short range or throw on a medium to long range fclass or br rifle. I was thinking the NF w the fcr-1 reticle.

I use the NF comp FCR-1 reticle for 1 K br, it’s clear and bright all the way.
