[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 911051, member: 35183"] Barrelnut, so what do you do if 24x is not useable ? If one buys the 4-16x50 then one can be sure that 16x will be useable under most conditions. But to buy the 6-24 and have to drop down to 12x if 24x is not useable is a bit unreasonable. I know Broz position on FFP scopes and he will point out how silly it is at 4x and 6x, yet he will freely admit that he shoots at the highest magnification possible. In this scenario, with this scope, where 24x is not useable, I can drop down to 22x or 20x on the FFPand not have to care about what the exact magnification is. Someone who buys a SFP version of this scope is going to have to set up a calibrated target and find the position on the dial that corresponds to 18x and make himself a mark on the focus ring (or glue on a pointer) so that he knows where 18x is at so that he has an intermediate magnification point that he can use. He has also expressed his opinion that the FFP reticle is too thick, so all I can suggest to the OP is to look at some realistic targets under field conditions and determine whether you too think that the reticle is too thick. Right now my 6-24 is on loan to a friend who is building a 6.5x47 Lapua rifle and he has not decided on a scope, so I am letting him try the FFP to see if he likes it. Some things you have to try before you buy or try and sell if it does not work out. I just know that I have only met a few people at the range who had a FFP scope, so most people have not experienced using them. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and the OP needs to take all the internet advice with a pinch of salt... Remember, if you tend to shoot at max magnification, the main difference between FFP and SFP is how the reticle looks and how you handle situations where you cannot use Max magnification. My personal recommendation would be that you go with the 4-16x50 in whichever configuration you like, since there will be few circumstances where 16x cannot be used for a long shot. I would not recommend the 6-24 for use above about 20x magnification unless you have enough time to get settled in and atmospherics support that level of magnification. [/QUOTE]
