Which reticle would you choose?

[MrBottleneck]

From 100-600 yards paper punching which reticle would you choose between the two.

Something fun to ask I suppose.

 

[BP1]

The ECR [the first one] because thats how I roll.

 

[jwink]

I prefer fine crosshair.

 

[Richard Coody]

I have a.reticle very much like the first one on my golden eagle. I like it very much.

Today was the first time using it. Just sighting in and breaking in a new rifle.

Dot is a nice size, the crosshairs are fine and the center is not too busy

I can see it being real handy for quick adjustments for windage. Being a dialer don't expect to be using it much for holdover

I grew up with the crosshair scopes. I like the new ones with moa hash marks. It gives me a reference that just crosshairs doesn't.

I can see a benchrest shooter shooting at the same distance all the time might prefer just the fine crosshairs

first one,gives me reference marks

FCH.....My getting older eyes don't like the " Dancing Dot"....

 

[DHuffman]

The ECR, mine should be here any day!

FCH.....My getting older eyes don't like the " Dancing Dot"....

I prefer the left one for the same reason. With my eyes (see thread on glasses) a thin crosshair gets lost in the target black. I need those thick reticle "trunks" to be able to find the crosshairs.

First one

Put a small dot (aka target dot) in the right one and go with that.

I like the first one because it gives you the option to dial for elevation and hold off for wind but I don't like the dot. This is just me but, if those were the only two choices, I would continue to look at other brands. The last thing I want to do is put up the money for as good of optics as I can afford and then be dissatisfied with the reticle later. Everyone has different ideas and different financial circumstances in life though so give it your best effort and enjoy whatever you decide on. Good shooting!!!

 

[500Stroker]

Neither one.
I dont care for 3 plane reticles
Fine cross hairs disappear on a black target.

 

[Milo 2.0]

All our eyes are different, I lose a fine crosshair, where the top one would funnel on to the target.

Personally, I don't like "busy" reticles. However, ALL reticle choices really do come down to "personally". "Personally", I think that the "old" CH3 reticles, UNwisely discontinued by Nightforce, was the finest reticle ever designed for precision shooting. They replaced it with the NP-2DD, which is a good idea, however, they have the reticle-dots in the wrong place, i.e. upside down! So now I try, if at all possible, to get a crosshair with a 3/32nd dot in the middle. It is not "busy" yet gives me the precision I desire. It is NOT a CH3, however, it is the best design in it's place I can find.

 

[BenPerfected]

+1 for the cross hairs & 3/32" dot....KSS me.

 

[laveritt]

FCH & 1/16 moa dot

 

[SheepDog]

I like the old "duplex" reticles. The large outer lines can get you on target for the close shots and you have the fine center reticles when more precision is required.

 

[Sniper338]

For targets the first one

 

[Shynloco]

This probably won't be helpful, but...... for target shooting:

100-200yds - Fine Cross Hair
300-600yds - ECR - helps reference distance.
