View Quote From my understanding of his explanation, it sounds like you zero your 5.56 to the second crosshair from the top. Not sure what the purpose off the center dot is if that’s the case. Looks like that’s just for bdc. This reticle could be confusing up close. |

I've been summoned so it seems. I started a thread on the tremor8 in the optics section-shoot me questions there. Between here and the hide I'm having trouble keeping up lol

Obviously the parts used to make them are the same, but the Mil-Spec scopes are still sealed and tested differently than the civilian scopes. The new limited edition Mil-Spec scopes are built the same way as all the other Mil-Spec ATACR scopes. I verified this with NightForce yesterday. There's 2 reasons that they're finally allowing a Mil-Spec scope to be warrantied. The first is that it's being sold to civilians, and not the military. NightForce doesn't warranty any Mil-Spec scopes that are going to a combat zone, so the military doesn't get this warranty on their Mil-Spec scopes. Also, the construction techniques used in sealing the Mil-Spec scopes has changed over the years. With the new Mil-Spec ATACR scopes, it's possible to take them apart, make repairs, then seal them back up to their Mil-Spec standards. This wasn't really possible to do with the older NXS scopes. So, even though these limited edition Mil-Spec scopes are made with the exact same parts as the civilian scopes, these Mil-Spec scopes are indeed made to their specific Mil-Spec manufacturing standards. I received this information directly from NightForce yesterday and again today. These are legit Mil-Spec scopes, and since they aren't going to a war zone, they can warranty them just like the civilian NF scopes. |

So my post was specific to the ATACR line-both the mil and civ versions undergo the same build protocols with nothing being added to the mil versions to include sealing. The atacr line passed the testing standards without needing changes. I can't speak on the older nxs lines. They've come out and said it multiple times on Instagram and have had reps confirm it on other sites. The only difference in this vs the other model is the tremor 8 |

I would really like to pick one up, but $4-4.5k is just too spicy for me. I get it, that they can’t sell it for less than the government pays (even though I’m sure the government contract includes extras for support). But, it’s just too much for what it is.

It's a good gift to the clone community (something that vortex should also do) -- but obviously not practical to drop almost double what a regular 1-8 ATACR costs for different markings and reticle.
This is for the serious cloners. 98% of people would rather spend the extra $2000 on something else. |

The top dot is 100m zero for m118lr out of a 16in scar, the middle dot is 14.5 m855a1 at 100m and also 6.5cm out of a 14.5 (neither have been fielded) the center dot is a 25m/300m zero 14.5 m855a1. Wind dots are 5mph. The scope is good but it’s a silly BDC that nobody wanted but 3/4 of guys in sof are not gun guys. |

Some doodles-
If they would have just stuck to standard mills and maybe simplied the first 3 while including a grid at the bottom it would have been better I personally DO like the center over the fc-dmx Attached File |

I'd call this the fc-carbine If we get enough people in support or something and do the leg work for the company to show its profitable I cant see why we wouldn't be able to make it happen I've been proposing small changes to the dmx for some time-maybe instead of changing we shoot to add a reticle with a different philosophy |

Background on S-VPS, Tremor8 and Leupold Protest
Here is an interesting article from after the S-VPS down select, when Leupold protested Sig getting more money to make glass etched reticles to support Tremor8. Someone should look on Fedlog or Haystack or whatever to see Sigs gov pricing. I bet the original cost was pretty good like $1K or so. I remember reading this when it came out. I assumed the T8 would look a lot like a T3 etc, rather than the very simple reticle we see here. I guess Nightforce and Sig won, before the T8 was even created, and it was made specifically for these two scopes. |

I've held onto this one for awhile Eliminate the bdc from the tremor 8 and change to standard mrad spacing. Keep the same 100y/m zero at the 1 mil hold under dot as the tremor 8 From mils 1-3 a simplified tree mean to put rounds on target at distances carbines excel at. Mil 1 has 1 wind holds 2 & 3 have two. The wind holds are staggered a bit Mils 4-10 have a full grid Mils 1-3 have no half mil marks. Basically donut of death and Mils 1-3 for fast shooting and for a universal bdc of sorts. 4-10 for slow shooting. I've already reached out to nf and they seemed interested. If you like it shoot them a message saying you saw this online and really like the idea. |
