Nightforce ATACR 5-25x56 SFP Enhanced MOAR vs MOAR-T

[Headshot25]

I am looking to purchase a Nightforce ATACR 5-25x56 SFP Enhanced. Any opinions on the MOAR vs the MOAR-T reticles?

According to Nightforce the MOAR-T reticle is 0.050 thick (ATACR 5-25x56 SFP Enhanced), while the standard MOAR is thicker at 0.100 (ATACR 5-25x56 SFP Enhanced)

It will be mounted on a 300 Win Mag and used primarily for hunting from short to long range (100 - 1000+ yards), however it will also be used for target shooting.

Which of these two reticles do you think will best serve my purposes (Best all-rounder)? Has anyone had experience with both?

To me the best all around, including hunting, is the MOAR reticle. It is easier to see in low light conditions and in situations where a quick shot may be required. For a long range target rig I prefer the MOAR-T.

We use the MOAR reticle in our NXS units for duty use. I think it's a great reticle but I would personally prefer the finer reticle of the MOAR-T however I don't understand the rationale behind the center only illumination. I would think complete reticle illumination would assist in more accurate rangefinding and holdover estimation for low-light situations. I suppose with the advancement of range finding capability most just paint their target and dial. Since you mentioned target shooting as well I would lean towards the MOAR-T.

I have never had a problem with the MOAR-T in my NXS or a desire for a thicker reticle.

^^^ This... I have MOAR-T in the ATACR, never desired a thicker reticle... plenty of times I've seen the advantages to having the thinner reticle

I have both in ATACR scopes, and I much prefer the MOAR-T reticle, particularly at longer ranges. The illuminated reticle can make up for lower light situations.

Thanks guys.

I still don't know which reticle to go with. I do like the MOAR-T reticle, but I’m concerned it may be to thin to see in a dark or busy background, is the Digillum daylight visible? Is having only the center illumination on the T version anything to think about?

It all depends on preference. I run the MOAT-T on my rigs. My buddy who hunts in similar conditions runs the MOAR.

The T is harder to through up and shoot a quick shot with. The reticle is not easy to pickup quickly. I have found that part of my shot process for a quick shot is to turn on the illumination. It helps finding the reticle for me. The T really shines for precise long range shooting. If you get the T practice a lot on closer range quick shots, find a rock at 75 yards and pull up and shoot.
