[QUOTE="B-P-UU, post: 1143157, member: 29114"] Quote: "In the heat of the day in a P-dog town when mirage is nasty, it's nice to be able to dial down the magnification and still be able to hold for wind properly. If you like to dial wind or guess hold-offs, then FFP won't offer anything for you." ^^^ This is great advice. I had a 25x SFP scope and after about noon, it's useless at max power. I actually moved to a 10x SFP scope to deal with the mirage on a second shooting trip and it worked well. I will be running a FFP scope this year for P-dogs and I think it'll work great. The 'reticle is too thick' argument is academic at best. consider the following example: NF MIL-R FFP reticle (0.04MIL / 0.14MOA thickness) 500 yd P-dog 18"x0.04 = 0.72" of the target covered. I know it's fun to shoot the young pups, but I've never seen one that skinny. You'll notice in these SFP vs. FFP threads, those who are opposing FFP don't actually use them. Those who advocate FFP have and use both. I have and use both; both have pros/cons and shine in certain applications. OP just needs to decide what is most important and how the optic will be used. It's great to have options. [/QUOTE]
