[QUOTE="StrutNut, post: 1141868, member: 88257"] MikeCR, I actually often see misses when hunting when using lower recoil rifles. In fact, this 300 wm I have now is the first one I cant. When trying to hit fox or coyotes on the run you can see your hit or miss and adjust needed. Kentucky Windage on the run if you will. The Christmas Tree style reticles makes that less of a guess and gets you on target quicker. As far as the SFP vss FFP debate in low light, well, I have a SFP long range scope and I can tell you it is NOT easy to see the reticle at sunset at close range. Farther ranges, yes but not close. It is easier when it gets darker and I can see the illumination working. That is at low power with a NightForce NXS NP R-1. Again, I can see it but it is faint at all powers but it does show up better beyond 50 yards. My eyes are 48 years old so there is that too. That is the only shortcoming of the scope I got. Otherwise I love it and if I could crank it up from 3.5 to 6 or 7 and see the reticle better I would see that as a plus. My biggest regret in my current set up is not being able to see the hits. I am not used to that. Should have went a little heavier in the rifle but dang is it accurate. [/QUOTE]
