Nikon Reticles

[Machann]

Hi guys

Know a few of you shoot Nikon scopes and almost all of us have looked through one. What do you guys like and dislike about a few of the Nikon reticules?

How would your ideal reticule look?

Thanks

i have a nikon with bdc reticle, only hassle i have with it, is that the circles are a bit thick, i would prefer a thinner bdc reticle.

Hi Machann
I went to Safari and Ourdoor on Saterday and left there with a 6-24x50 with the BDC reticle. I have used the reticle on the 3-12x42 on a springbuck hunt and it is handy. I would have liked the reticle to use small stripes in sted of the sirkels for the BDC.
Just my 2cents

I am busy building a range rifle in 308 based on a Rsa action. The guys at Arms suggested a Nikon 6-24x50 like you have with BDC, how do you find this scope would it work on the range out to 500m?

In that Price range what other makes would youn suggest?

I have used it to 300m on a Springbok terget and it was perfect for me. The picture was perfect, the bdc worked perfect. If u are going to use it on the range you can use the Nikoplex, Fine croshair or the fine croshair/dot as the adjustments are made very easely and you can adjust the reticle to compensate for the drop/wind.
I am starting to do some research on a scope for the .223. I have been Looking at a Burris, Lynx, Rudolph and Nikon. All of them are good in my opinion but I will buy a nother Nikon. The price is good and the comparisons I have done was with a Vortex Viper, Leupold VX3 and Schmidt and Bender. The Nikon is just as good as all of them exept at late dusk I was able to see a tad better with the S&B but the Nikon was as good as the other two and picture was in my opinion clearer than them all.
I hope it helps.

Ek skakel nou maar oor moedertaal toe.

Ek het bietjie die naweek gegoogle oor die BDC reticle, daar is nogal baie posts op youtube oor die BDC reticle, ek verstaan nou beter wat die bedoeling van die manne was met die BDc reticle. Die ding werk hoor, dit wat ek daar gesien het, het my verbaas. die manne skiet tot 600 yrds sonder probleme.

Die idee met die bdc reticle is dat indien jy 'n geweer soos bv 'n 308 het wat 2800fps behaal, zero jy hom op 100m dan is hy presies op die kol op die 1stre sirkel op 200m en so aan die tweede op 300m derde op 400m  die vierde tot op 500m ens.

As jy 'n magnum kaliber het wat 3000fps haal zero jy jou geweer op 200m en dan gaan die sirkel tot op 600m op teiken wees.

Die idee met die sirkels is hulle beweer 'n mens se oog kan baie maklik die middelpunt van 'n sirkel optel (soos met 'n gaaitjie visier) eerder as 'n lyn.

Dit is dus makliker om die middel te bepaal van 'n sirkel en op die teiken te fokus as deur die gebruik van 'n solide lyn/kruis.

Hoe waar dit is kan ek nog nie s? nie het nog nooit met so 'n scope geskiet nie, maar ek het al baie met gewere geskiet wat gaatjie visiere op het en dit werk goed, my boog het ook 'n gaatjie visier op en dit werk 100%.

Die manne wat kommentaar lewer op die bdc se hulle skiet met geen ander reticle nie die ding werk baie goed.

Dit maak heeltemal sin wat jy/hulle se. Ek sal dit bietjie toepas wanneer ek weer gaan skiet op die 300m baan.
