[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 482204, member: 319"] Yes, you can do that. For me, 8X is a bit much for an all around general walk around setting so I typically carry the scope set on a lower power than this. So if I need to take my eye out of the scope and look at the scope while I set the power ring to a specific location...why not just dial the turret to a specific location instead? Having to do that sort of ruins the whole thing. The bigger point is for people who use the reticle much, after using a FFP in all these various scenarios the idea of having to worry about what the power ring is set on just seems silly. Why on earth would I want that? There is no advantage to it, only downsides. Unlike on the range or even in competition, in hunting you never know when something is going to jump out and you'll need to spring into action. You don't always get the chance to set your scope to the proper power and get ready while you wait for the buzzer to go off. The idea of a Mil always being a Mil or an MOA always being an MOA is so simple and gives such peace of mind if you plan on using the reticle for anything, the better question again is why on earth you'd want it any other way.
