Nightforce reticles???

[Underpup2]

Does anybody know why nightforce doesn't have a (center only) illuminated MOA reticle available in the FFP NX-8's???
I have looked into a lot of scope and decided that the nx-8 specificly the 4-32x version is basically perfect for what I want. The only problem being the only (non cluttered) FFP moa based reticle is the MOAR. I like the design of the reticle all but the fact that it is fully illuminated. The SFP nx-8 has an MOA based clean reticle that appears to be center dot illuminated only which I like the looks of a lot better then the reticle available for the FFP model.

So now I have to decide over the reticle I want or FFP(which I prefer). I just don't understand why if I'm giving $2200 for a scope that i can't have both.
I emailed NF and asked and they said they don't do custom/one off reticles or reticle swap of any kind

Yes you can have your cake and eat it too, they say a picture is worth a 1,000 words....

It appears the MOAR F1 - 30 MOA is only illuminated in the very center

Thanks to both of yall for trying to help. I appreciate it, but if you look closer at their website the MOAR F1 reticle and the MOAR F1-30MOA reticle are 2 different reticle options and the don't offer the MOAR F1-30MOA in the NX8 model scopes only the MOAR F1 that is fully illuminated.

I really wish they offered this reticle in the NX8 but they do not. As I stated above although the names are similar and somewhat confusing this reticle and the MOAR F1 are not the same reticle and this is not an option for the scope I want.

Anybody got any other options for a scope with these specs(or close to) that is offered with a FFP center only illuminated?
I have looked for over at every manufacturer and model i could find and the closest I could find to the specs i want is the Arken LH 6-24x I have 1 and like it but but I really like the idea of the 4-32x.
I just don't want to spend that on a scope and then not be happy with the reticle or wish I had got FFP , but i guess I can't have my cake and eat it too even for a $2200 piece of cake

Nobody got any other options or suggestions?
The most frustrating part about this whole problem is that NF literally has the reticle i want(MOAR F1-30MOA) which is the only center only illuminated moa based reticle they offer already in ffp but they only offer this reticle in the SHV 4-14 . How hard could it possibly be for them to make it available in more then just 1 model?

It's a business decision. We don't know all the details but more configurations cost more money to manage. Not just during the build of the product but also vendors, repair, ....

I suppose they could offer a reticle swap service for $1000 plus shipping.

I don't know about $1000 just for the reticle swap but I would definitely pay extra to have the reticle I want vs being stuck with the only moa option available. I understand that it will cost them to produce a particular model with more reticle options but if they made the "custom" reticles to order instead of just mass producing them then they could charge extra for them as they are produced and they wouldn't be out anything. I'm sure I'm over simplifying it but I just don't see how a reticle that they already have in production could cost them that much to put in a different model scope that's already in prodution.

Maybe the piece of the scope with the reticle on it that fits in an SHV is different than the piece with the reticle on it for the NX8?
