[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 379245, member: 319"] Mark, Have you actually ever used a FFP scope? The problems you see with them appear to be largely imagined. My Premier reticle covers 2.16" at 1000 yds. If you opt for the XR reticle it covers 0.9" at 1000 yds. The S&B P4 reticle covers 2.4" at 1000 yds. The P4F covers 1.26". The Vortex PST 4-16 covers 2.16" at 1000 yds. The PST 6-24 covers 1.44" at 1000 yds. Could you explain how those thicknesses would hinder you in making a shot big game hunting? As for the rest of the debate, it's really been hashed and rehashed here so many times I prefer to direct people to the search function in lieu of re-typing a book. So just a couple quick questions: Do you ever use your reticle for anything? Ever? If the answer is no, you always even dial your wind, etc, then FFP really gives you no advantage, you are correct. Stick with SFP. If you do hold wind or anything else with the reticle, have you never shot in conditions where the mirage was so bad you had to dial down in power? Or low light conditions where it helped you see the target by dialing down in power? If so, how fun was it holding with the reticle then? If not, you're lucky and since you always have perfect conditions when you shoot FFP gives you no advantage. :D [/QUOTE]
