Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Night Force 2-10x42

Bob,

If you're going to play around with it a bit, then get the reticle to match the turrets (at least at 10 power), either the MOAR or the MIL-R depending on which set of units you prefer.

This scope has its share of fans, however IMO the exposed windage turret and the SFP design limit it as a hunting scope. I just don't find it versatile, or idiot proof enough for a hunting scope.

Might consider the Bushnell LRHS instead. It has a capped windage turret and FFP reticle that matches the elevation turret. The reticle is pretty fine, even at high power and it's MIL based. I'd prefer the main crosshair to be about 50% thicker and the donut eliminated. The thickness christmas tree matrix is about right.

Again, this is just my opinion/recommendation. As you know, others will differ. Good luck.

Louis
