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 30 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 MIL-R reticle sheet (NFO_MILRsheet_20160114, 2016) page 1 (first focal plane version, 15 Mil-Radian), MRAD: A=10 horizontal scale, D=.5 post height, E=.5 / F=1.0 pitches, G=1.0 floating centre (the 1.0 marks at +/-1), I=.2 half-mil horizontal marks (hanging below) and gap from the 5 mark to the post tip, J=1.0, K(F1)=.8 whole-mil vertical marks, L(F1)=.4 whole-mil horizontal marks (below), M=2.0 bar at -15, O=2.0 inverted-T base, P=.2 and Q=.1 fine graduations (4.2-4.8 on the horizontal, -14.1 to -14.9 alternating on the vertical, and the T-scale), R=15 mil below centre. Per model (SHV 4-14x50 F1): B=0.04 line, C=0.15 post rail, H=0.44 numerals and N=0.038 T-scale line from Nightforce's current MIL-R F1 specification pages (the 2016 sheet gives H(F1)=.28 and N(F1)=.029 generically). The inverted-T ranging scale sits right of and below centre (stem at 3.5, base at -3.0, 0-2 mil up the stem in .1, +/-1 mil along the base in .1/.2). Posts at 3, 6 and 9 o'clock: hollow chevron tip at 5.2 / -15.2 (drawn as a solid taper to 6.04), rails, fine centre line, solid from 10.03 / 20.01. Centre-only illumination on the SHV (the lit cross is +/-0.5 mil on Nightforce's 'MIL-R F1 Center Illuminated' image).
Verified 9 Oct 2026 against Nightforce NFO_MILRsheet_20160114.pdf page 1, read as VECTOR at 6.878 pt/mil about the line crossing (A=10 and the +5/-15 vertical reproduce to 0.1%). Every mark was transcribed from the drawing onto the 0.1 mil grid (worst deviation 0.049 mil) and checked letter by letter: I .2 and L .4 hanging below, K .8 and .4 centred, P .2 fine marks 4.2-4.8, Q .1 alternating fine marks -14.1 to -14.9, M 2.0 bar at -15, J/G 1.0 marks at +/-1, O 2.0 T base, D post height (rail outer edges), I post-tip gap. Numerals are vector outlines; positions measured. Line/rail/numeral/T weights are the model's published values (the drawing uses one weight). Cross-checked by overlay (tools/nf_wave2_lib.crosscheck). All letters A-R represented (H as the label size).
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.
