[QUOTE="Doom2, post: 1639680, member: 108323"] Haven’t been to Dan’s school (yet) but refer to Practical Riflery often and also bangsteel.com for equipment info. But that recommendation is spot on. A couple of observation that you might consider. First, don’t go crazy on maximum power. As you go out further mirage will become the enemy of higher power. Probably 16x-18x is the most you will need. First or second focal Plane. If you only anticipate using mil dot or MOA reticale for ranging the SFP is OK. If you think you will use holdover in addition to ranging then FFP will probably work better. Watch out for mixed reticle elevation adjustments, such as mil dot/MOA turret. Most of all recognize that this will be a learning experience, and down the road you initial preferences will probably change. [/QUOTE]
