That said, I have never had a problem with 1/4MOA clicks out to and beyond 1200yd (gone beyond a mile with the .50bmg). Then there is NP-R1 vs. NP-R2. I suggest if you're getting a 3.5-15x or bigger, get NP-R1. It's not as "cluttered" as it may look. I assume you want a lot of magnification. Personally I would get the 5.5-22x in NP-R1 w/ .25MOA clicks, OR MLR w/ .10 mil clicks.
Why? Because even with the 8-32x, the Mil/MOA scale on the reticle only works at 22x (I.e. you have to set your 8-32x scope to 22x to be able to use the scale correctly on the reticle), and you get 35MOA more max elevation adjustment range with the 5.5-22x vs. the 8-32x.
I'm glad you told me that about the NP-R1 vs NP-R2, i was concerned about the cluttered reticle, that's why i was leaning toward the NP-R2. I definitely want a lot of magnification and i have talked to several people about the differences between the 22x and the 32x and every one said to go with the 22x because of all the reasons you described. I sure appreciate the input !
