Holy Grail for HFT ?

Hello Rudy. It’s been a month. I know you are meticultus in your prep, but any update?
an Avenue worth following or another HFT dead end?
looki forward to hearing your thoughts
My Thomas arrives next week... the NX8 is SO good that it is what i am mounting on the Thomas... of all my scopes to date, it has the sharpest clearest image that when combined with the Mil-CF2D reticle is the right amount of detail... next up is the ATACR's but overall, at 16X, the Sightron S3's hard still hard to beat.

All it takes is getting used to finer holds! It takes some training which only means plinking a few sessions.

I like .2 mil hash reticles because you can easily see where 1 click/.1 mil is. If you want to use holds for the highest precision these work great.

Also like the .5 moa hashes in the Athlon ETR 15-60.

How do the ranging of these for HFT (16x) compare to your Sightron SIII 10-50x60?
@RScott
I give the S3 the slight edge at 16x but will probably compete with the nX8 because I prefer the reticle for holdovers.
I spent the last two days with the NX8 and from 10 - 35 yards it’s super accurate ranging, after 35 yards I noticed that it’s ranging becomes very sensitive to slight changes so you have to really work and double check your distances. I’m still more confident with the S3 but given a couple more weeks this may change
