Bushnell nitro

Hey Jim - I don't have the Nitro, but I got an Engage 6-18x50 back in sept and I love it. The MOA Deploy reticle is great for quick hold corrections. Mine is on my B-22 and using diff ammo gets diff POI, so if I don't want to change the scope settings I can get within 1" with holdover. However, I just bought (online - not recd yet) a Cabelas Covenant 6-24x50 Tac FFP. The Tac reticle is like the Deploy but has numbers along the hash marks, which will make it easier to make holds. Hard to count the correct number of hashes on the Deploy, even if I'm just shooting paper ;-) I just hope the clarity is on par with the Bushnell ! And I think the Covenant is a little cheaper (and easier to find). Next step is 'musical chairs' with the scopes on diff rifles - everyone move down the line ;-P
 
Have a Nitro 4-16. Sat unused for over a year cos I didn't have a rifle to put it on. Then mounted it on a top of the line 22 so that I could compete in some of the local PRS type .22 competitions. Like it, like it a lot! Have successfully shot out to 355 metres with a .22, required 73moa of come uppance to get there. Very clear optic's, concise dialing, not too heavy. Like most FFP scopes, the reticule is a bit fine on the lower powers, but I just crank it up and find I can still acquire the target quickly around 7-9X. A lot of our matches are timed, and not enough time to allow dialing. Then I simply use the hash marks and windage of the Deploy reticule, simple and easy to use. The only letdown for me is it hasn't got zero stop, and that would be really helpful when Im dialing 4 revolutions to get way out there. Pretty sure it wouldn't be such an issue on a CF rifle, or if some of our stations weren't timed. I wont be getting rid of it, but may see if I can sort out some sort of zero stop, or indicator of how many revolutions I've turned. Excellent scopes for the money.
