Nightforce Adds New MRAD Reticle Options
Nightforce has added some new MRAD reticle options. The Mil-XT reticle is now offered for their 4-14×50 SHV F1 scope, and the Tremor 5 is available in two models. Let’s zoom in on these new reticles to see what they offer.
Nightforce @ TFB:
The Mil-XT reticle is (as the name hints) a miliradian-based, Christmas tree-style option. This couples a traditional crosshair with hash marks with an array of windage marks. The new 4-14×50 F1 is in stock at retailers now at a price of $1,290.
Unlike the Mil-XT, which is a proprietary Nightforce reticle, the Tremor 5 is a Horus product that is licensed to various manufacturers. Horus is already well known for their H-59 and other Tremor reticles. The Tremor 5 differs from those previous offerings by simplifying and reducing the number of marks in the reticle. Though it is less cluttered than previous Tremor reticles, the 5 does maintain the Time Of Flight Wind Dots. Nightforce offers the Tremor 5 in the ATACR 7-35×56 F1 and NX8 4-32×50 F1. Look for those in stock soon at a dealer near you.
From the manufacturer:
The TREMOR5™ reticle is designed to provide the basic capabilities of the TREMOR3™ reticle but with a more clear field of view. Removing the Rapid Range bars and moving target holds makes this reticle ideal for competition shooting. Retaining the 0.2 milliradian Horus Grid, patented time of flight wind dots, and TREMOR™ milling Chevrons it’s ideal for those looking to engage multiple targets at various ranges, quickly and accurately.
…
The MIL-XT™ has a simple center dot for a fine aiming point at center, while the main lines feature .2 Mil-Radian holds. Each whole Mil-Radian is numbered for fast reference under even stressful conditions.
Below center, whole Mil-Radian intersections feature a floating dot. Dots are placed at .2 Mil-Radian increments, while whole Mil-Radians are increased in size for fast counting. Additional marks are placed at half Mil-Radian increments as well. Numbers below center alternate in size for easy counting and verification of appropriate hold points.
This reticle was designed for the competitive and field shooter, and is certain to give a competitive edge to anyone who uses it.

Oh good, I think we need about 20 MOAR of these reticle designs to choose from because the 11 or so that I currently own (Each one with variations), are not enough LOL.
As a second focal plane and kentucky holdover sucker, let me use the comment section for my own notes. So, a circle got 2pi = 6.283 radiens, so by x10-³ thats milliradiens of 6283 right? Minutes of Angles is selfexplaining, so 360°x60'=21600'. Radiens are often used in 1/10s, right? so thats 62k as Resolution, MOA are commonly used in 1/4, right? So thats ~85k as Resolution.
So, if I want the finest resolution I go by MOA. What is artillary using? I guess MRAD right? So if I like to be compatible without conversion I use MRAD or what?
Someone wanna enlighten me?
Still am a sucker for SFP and never even try to dial or calculate anything.
