[QUOTE="teesquare, post: 1177608, member: 56740"] Thank you! I appreciate you input and observations. I asked about POI because with all of my SFP scopes with BDC reticles for example - - they are ONLY accurate - according to everything I have read - when dialed into their max magnification. And, while I have always used SFP in the past, I recently used a FFP scope - and was convinced of the benefits for my needs of larger game or smaller game depending on the reticle section ( thickness of the lines. Illumination or none, etc...) But I am a little confused by this:[B] "If youre using a laser rangefinder and dialing elevation and wind, you dont need any subtensions on a reticle. Standard cross hair will do. Then the FFP/SFP conversation becomes meaningless. " [/B] I think that depends on what the circumstances are. If you have a deer let's say = at 300 yards, and you only have a thin crosshair...You have to be very comfortable with that round, and the reticle. ( And you should be, or not be hunting...) But - with the FFP - it seems that you should be able to remove the "Kentucky Windage AND Elevation" guestimate and replace that with a more measurable, and knowing firing solution using the reticle type seen in a growing number of scopes ( EBR- 2C in Vortex...others have similar offerings) because there are marks in either mil, or MOA that one can reference quickly. And - without major math. I agree with you on the "head scratcher of mis-matched turret/reticle combos..I prefer prefer base 10 solution of mil/mil too. [/QUOTE]
