Scope ACTAR F1 - Mil-R, Mil-C, Mil-XT
For long range, 1500 yds and out, which of these reticles do you prefer
 
More options please . moar-t
MOAR T is not available in a first focal plane.
MOAR is available but the lines are too fat for me.
I have an Atacar second focal plane in MOAR T already.
I am Looking at the "Mil-rad" this time.
 
I have used both the Mil-C and XT reticles, and settled on the XT. I shoot only PRS now, and the tree reticle does help on that stage when you need to hold elevation and wind. At first, the XT looks a little busy, but it's not something I even see anymore unless I need it. If all you're shooting is ELR and can always dial for elevation, then the Mil-C would work fine.

Sorry I missed the ffp .From your choices my pick would be the mil-c . I need to see splash . If useful clutter hampers this I don't need it . I like clean and simple .
 
If your doing ELR stuff (I've seen your threads!), the Mil-XT might be good. If you run out of mechanical elevation, you will have much more accurate hold-over/wind-hold. Jyst a thought. If not, I like the Mil-C.
 
I'd find out what the different reticles subtend on full power at a mile plus before I made my choice.

I'd hate to have to aim at a sheet of plywood to see around the reticle.......

Seeing "splash" is vital.

At the range yesterday shooting my Vudoo at 200 yards on steel. First trigger pull - nothing anywhere.

Did 1 full revoluation of the elevation turret up. Saw the splash at the very bottom of the window. Using holdover I was center steel in 3 shots.
 
C or Xt- the fine center dot over the thicker crosshairs of the mil-r is an absolute game changer.

Decide if you’d rather have better holdover options (XT) or better miss spotting (C).
 
I have a Mil/Horus FFP I’ll sell you. Bought it thinking I could get used to it. I can’t.

I like the NPR 1 & 2’s.
