1-4 options

[Failure2Stop]

Do you recommend the circle dot or T reticle?

I have the T, and it works well.
I have also used the circle, and it too works well.
Most people seen to prefer the circle, but it hasn't seemed to make much difference in my performance.
If I had it to do over, I would probably go with the circle, but not for any huge reason.

Circle if you plan on doing more close range shooting. The circle allows you to get on target slightly faster.

The T is better for longer distances. The doughnut can obscure your view with the magnification cranked up. Their new 1-6 reticle has overcome that issue.

Man this is tough. 1-6 isn't out yet. Weighs another 5oz (probably doesn't matter) and is $999. Capped or uncapped? I'm thinking less is more for me so...capped.

If money is a factor, one of those refurb 1-4 would pretty well get you where you want. Should your aim be to shoot out to 600-700 yards then you might consider a 1-6.

As far as the turrets go, the SWFA has solid clicks on their dial making uncapped fine in MOST cases. It's quicker to dope when seconds are important. Generally, you only need capped if you have a cheap scope that has turrets that easily adjust.

I am not as hot about their 1-6.
The weight increase is not worth it to me.

I have been very pleased with the NF 1-4X24 FC-2. I have not found a faster ret. than the FC-2 and I have tried several... I have found the side hashes to be very fast and great reference points at all distances...

Much of it is personal preference, but I am almost dead on with splits and first shots inside 25 yds as I am with my T1's. I have noticed solid accuracy and speed gains out to 200 yds with the 1-4 variable.

I dedicated all of 2012 to the 1-4X to give it an honest evaluation compared to my T1's and have been very pleased with the results, even with the added weight.

I also really like the size, weight and overall durability of the Nightforce.

The NF and FC2 ret are very appealing to me. Very simple. Seems fast and effective and the scope could be used as a hammer. But it's probably $5-600 more than the SWFA. Hmmm. The simple reticle of the FC2 and TR24 are a big turn on for my purposes. The SWFA has so many great reviews too. My wallet is crying. If I could afford it the Swarovski would be mine and this would be easy.

Anyone have an opinion on the USO 1-4 DFP. Just heard some great things about it. Very interested. Much higher price point though
