kz45 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 NF has a new reticle for there 1-4 compact, the FC-3G reticle looks awesome! I sent my scope in for the change, I've ben running the FC-2, which is a great up close reticle, but lacking in the long range department, the FC-3G is going to be the ticket. I have a 2.5-10 with the velocity reticle and it works perfect with my 69gr load, I just love how compact and tough the little 1-4 is, I'll update this when I get it back and put it to the test! Look how sexy it is, sitting on that work of art!! And the reticle http://nightforceoptics.com/reticles/fc-3g/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronin16 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 That's a solid reticle! Glad to see NF keeping up with the times! Curious to see how this compares to my Swaro Z6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustinWolv Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I like that they put the effort into it, reminds me a bit of the Vortex 1-6x except adding windage element, which is obviously good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseCJC Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Nice, hopefully I will be able to get one soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltdmstr Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 The new 1-4x24 also has a nice factory throw lever on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kz45 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 That's a nice touch, the throw lever! I don't think that's upgradable tho, so my scope is only getting the reticle change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoothdraw Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Offered in 1-6 and or 1-8 then it will be in the race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I was less than half a second from having one of those fr this season (damn you Tony Holmes ). I really like that reticle setup. 1-4 is nice, altho the next scope I buy will likely be a 1-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovaShooter Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 00bullitt Any plans for this optic in 1-6 or 1-8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan 45 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I am very intrigued by this scope. It's a bullet proof optic, very compact, and has a great reticle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltdmstr Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Some additional info on the reticle. Do you happen to have an idea for when the new version with the FC3G will ship? I saw them at the SHOT Show and ordered one from Europtic right when I got back. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00bullitt Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 The new reticles in the Enhanced Compacts will start shipping to dealers around lat February. The reticles are ready. The problem is that the Compact model lead times are pretty lengthy and we are still fulfilling orders from before Thanksgiving. Euro Optic and the larger online retailers are most likely the place to receive the first shipment of them. As for a 1-6,8,10 or something along those lines, if you are in the scope business and not working on something along those lines, you are shooting yourself in the foot. I wish I could share more, but I cannot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00bullitt Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I am very intrigued by this scope. It's a bullet proof optic, very compact, and has a great reticle. Bryan........Thanks! Designed by a 3 Gunner for 3 Gunners. I know its not daytime illuminated and its not 1-some super high magnification. But it works well for an 8.8" scope and as you say.....its BULLETPROOF. The BDC below center works well with a multitude of loads and it is very precise. The lines of the BDC pretty much disappear until you need to see them. I was out today ringing an 8" steel plate at 450 yards almost as fast as I could pull the trigger. Load was a 53gr. VMAX over Benchmark powder going 3000fps from my 17" barrel.

Putting together an AR with Noveske 14.5" barrel in 300 BLK and this is going to top it off. Can't wait to get it together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kz45 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 I had to update, my cc got charged a few days ago, I'm thinking this means it's on it's way back home, it's like Christmas in February!! Pics and range report coming soon!! (Crossing fingers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskapopo Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Some additional info on the reticle. I like the reticle would like to see it offered in the 2.5-10 as well. Not for three gun as much but would not make a bad hunting or precision reticle. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
