What reticle for short range?

[jelrod1]

I am in the market for another scope for a gun that will be finished soon. It will mostly be used for paper only at 100-400 yard with most of that a 100. I have a Nightforce on another rifle with the MLR reticle and feel something else with only paper in mind may be better. I was thinking of getting one of the discontinued 12-42 NXS but not many reticles to choose from. Not sure if the dot is too big on a NP2-DD and that and a few NPR2's are about all that's left.

I'm thinking a very fine crosshair may be best. Not opposed to Sightron, March or other but wanted to get some opinions on the type reticle people like for shorter distances.

For paper only at those yardages I like a 1/8 minute dot.

I love the 1/8th minute dot but for longer range a 1/4 minute dot might be better,it is your chuice and I have alot of scopes with 1/8 and love them.
