Nightforce MOAR F1 30 MOA (ATACR 4-16x42 F1)

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.

Nightforce MOAR F1 30 MOA (ATACR 4-16x42 F1) — first focal plane, MOA subtensions, 4–16×

Framed to about 40 MOA — the part of the reticle you aim with. This reticle carries marks out to 60 MOA; 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.

Subtensions

Nightforce MOAR (First Focal Plane) reticle sheet (2017, 6/20) page 2, MOA, all models: A=40 windage scale, B=1.7188 post height, C=.5 odd and D=2 even vertical marks, E=4 the 10/20 marks, F=1 pitch, G=2 floating centre cross, J=1.0 vertical numerals, K=.5 and L=1 horizontal marks (hanging below the line), M=1 gap to the post tip, N=2 the +/-2 and +/-20 marks, O=.8 horizontal numerals. Per model (ATACR 16x): H=0.15 line, I=0.344 post rail. 30 MOA scale below centre ('30 MOA scale: ATACR 4-16x42 F1, SHV 4-14x50 F1'); +10 above. Posts at 3, 6 and 9 o'clock, none at 12: a filled chevron tip at 21 (sides) / 31 (bottom), then a hollow channel of two I-thick rails with a fine centre line, solid from 31.46 (sides) / 36.67 (bottom), measured. Nightforce's current web table for MOAR F1 differs slightly in line/numeral weights (ATACR 16x: H .16, I .34, J 1.25); holds are identical. First focal plane: true at every magnification.

How this one was checked

Verified 9 Oct 2026 against Nightforce NFO_MOAR_F1_20170620.pdf page 2, read as VECTOR at 4.3627 pt/MOA about the line crossing (fitted to the 1 MOA graduation). All 38 vertical and 38 horizontal marks drawn match the published rule in position (worst 0.12 MOA) and both ends, side included: horizontal marks hang below, vertical ones are centred. One artwork defect: the right half of the windage scale drifts long and the +20 mark is drawn at 20.57; the record uses the published A=40 / F=1. Measured: A/2 20.0 (left), +10 up, -30 down, the 2 MOA floating cross with stadia resuming at 2.0 (G), B 1.722, M 1.12 (side) / 1.17 (bottom), rail outer edge = B/2. H and I are the model's published weights (the drawing uses one generic weight). Numerals are vector outlines; positions measured (10/20 at y 2.8, 10/20/30 at x -3.21). Every lettered dimension A-O represented. Cross-checked by overlay.
