[QUOTE="mwkelso, post: 1867007, member: 110880"] There would not be any POI change with either. I started on a SFP with no issues. You will need to verify what power the scope must be set on for your reticle drops to be accurate though. You’re right, a SFP can bite a guy in the butt pretty hard if you use your reticle drop and forget to set your magnification to the correct setting. FFP the reticle is accurate no matter what magnification power you’re set to. If you’re planning on using turrets only though, I think you could go either route and be okay. I still have a SFP on my .270 and it works perfect. But when I need to dope for distance, I use turrets rather than the reticle. I have a FFP on my 300WM and it works perfect as well. Again though, I use my turrets to dope for distance though. If the animal is close enough that you don’t have time to dope, then the choice of FFP vs SFP should have no difference in your shot placement or POI. [/QUOTE]
