The NP-1 reticle combines the familiar traits of “Duplex” and “German Post” style reticles to yield a “best of both worlds” result. It is designed for shooters and hunters that do not require a reticle that functions beyond providing a precise point of aim. For these users, a simple and straightforward design is best. The dual subtension arrangement of the NP-1 naturally directs the eye to its center for fast acquisition and affords a reticle that is easy to see against a complex background while still offering an extremely fine point of aim in the middle. By excluding unnecessary obstructions this reticle provides for a clean target picture and a wide open view.
The NP-2DD reticle is an accomplished winner in competitive shooting disciplines. It was utilized by talented shooters to set the last two consecutive records for group size at 1000 yards in the light gun benchrest class of shooting. Its first record group of ten shots into 4.227 inches stood from 2003 to 2006, when once again; the NP-2DD was used to place ten shots into 3.835 inches establishing a record that stands today. The configuration of the NP-2DD reticle makes it an ideal choice for competitive long-range marksmen. Two tapered horizontal bars naturally draw your eye to the center, where a floating dot creates an ideal point of aim against bull’s-eye targets. The lower dot provides the shooter with a 500-600 yard holdover point for most flat shooting cartridges.
The FC-2 reticle is unique in the Nightforce lineup, in that it was specifically designed for use in short to medium range applications. A favorite of hunters and tactical shooters alike, this reticle combines characteristics that make it versatile and simple to use. It is an ideal choice for hunting or field applications where a reticle that is quick to acquire and easy to see is needed. A “circle-dot” point of aim features tapered horizontal bars that naturally direct the eye to the center, and heavy subtensions that make finding the reticle against a complex background easy. This reticle also allows the shooter to quickly compensate for bullet drop, target lead, and wind drift using hold points provided by the thoughtful placement of the stadia and surrounding outer circle.
In a world where a tenth makes all the difference, the CH series stands apart. These reticles possess some of the finest line subtensions available anywhere. They are so fine, in fact, that they will not cover a .22 caliber bullet hole 1000 yards away. This allows the benchrest or target competitor to determine a very exact point of aim. This level of precision allows a shooter to reach his full potential and wring every possible amount of accuracy from his rifle. Reticles from this series have been used by the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit, and many others, to win countless matches and tournaments. They have a winning history and will be an excellent complement to your target rifle.
