So I think I want a Razor 1-6, and a Gen II for cost. It's for a 14.5. What reticle to pick and why? MRAD / MOA / JM-1 / or the crazy EBR-7F (I say this because I've read all the forums about the reticle vs turret difference.) Talk me into something else? I'd like to buy nice glass, not to cheap, not $3-4K either. I feel from everything I've read and seen in video, its the overall best option. And I do like the color. TIA |

What is it for? Its a great optic, very clear. Heavy bitch though. I don’t own one, can actually afford one. I would really like the 1-10 but the $2500 has me shy. I shoot a few 3 gun matches a year and use the PST 1-6x and I have a C-More 1-6x which works great. I like a simple reticle. The JM-1 would be my choice. |

After all these years its still highly regarded for its everything it brings to the table. They can be had for $800-1000 on the used market, maybe even cheaper if you find a non-E. Comes down to if you want crosshairs from center to edge or in the middle of the glass with the newer EBR7f option. If you want crosshairs throughout then choose BDC/MRAD/MOA options. Newer EBR7f reticle seems to have brighter and less bloom of illumination. Has range finder, with BDC and windholds then mil drops below. Developed for the Rangers for their 14.5 URGIs with 855A1 so you'll want to calc your own drops and maintain dope. |

I’ve had the MRAD, JM-1, and now I’ve got the EBR-7F. The EBR is, by far, my favorite reticle for it. I use strelok/Chairgun elite to verify my drops, and I’ve used it pretty effectively out to 550m or yards (don’t remember what the unit of measure was at the 2gun range), using fiocchi 55gr. Image feels less cluttered, and I like having a dedicated ranging estimation reticle outside of the drop reticle. The floating dot is also more appealing than the crosshair. |
