Reticle library · Nightforce
Drawn to scale from Nightforce’s own specification sheet, and checked mark by mark by a person. This is the same geometry Harson Ballistics draws your holdover on.
Framed to about 12 MRAD — the part of the reticle you aim with. This reticle carries marks out to 26.8 MRAD; the rest sits beyond the edge of this drawing.
Drawn from Nightforce Optics, Inc.’s published specification.
In the first focal plane the subtensions hold true at every magnification, so a hold is a hold wherever the zoom ring sits.
Nightforce FC-DM reticle sheet (NFO_FC-DM_20171206-COMM-v4_1, 12/17) page 2, MRAD, first focal plane: A=.35 illuminated centre dot, B=2 segmented circle (four illuminated arcs 0.65-1 from centre, 15 degrees clear of each axis), C=10 horizontal scale, D=1 dot spacing, E=5 half-width of the dot grid, F=2 heavy bars, G=.06 lines, H=1 / I=.5 mark pitches. No line above centre; lines start 0.5 from centre; vertical to -10. Marks: +/-1 .5 long, half mils .2, whole mils 1.0 (all centred). Dot grid (rows below centre, mil: half-width): 1: +/-1..2; 2: +/-1..2; 3: +/-1..3; 4: +/-1..4; 5: +/-1..5; 6: +/-1..5; 7: +/-1..5; 8: +/-1..5; 9: +/-1..5; 10: +/-1..5; dots 0.2 (measured). Heavy bars taper from 6 to full width at 15.1 (sides) and 11 to 20 (bottom) and END at 26.8 mil, measured on the sheet's 1x view (they stop inside the field at low power); the white 10/15 and 15/20 numerals printed on the bars are not drawn (the app paints labels in the reticle colour).
Verified 9 Oct 2026 against Nightforce NFO_FC-DM_20171206-COMM-v4_1.pdf page 2 (8x drawing), read as VECTOR at 7.352 pt/mil: C=10 and F=2 reproduce to 1%, the A dot measures .35, the ring's outer diameter 2.00 (B), the drawn line .06 (G); every mark sits on the .5 mil pitch (worst 0.027) and every grid dot on the 1 mil lattice (D) out to 5 (E). Ring thickness, arc gaps, dot size, bar tips and the row-by-row dot extents are measured from the to-scale vectors (unpublished). Cross-checked by overlay. All nine letters represented.
Harson Ballistics draws this reticle at your magnification with your holdover marked on it, from your rifle, load and conditions. Works with no signal and no account.
