[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 1868376, member: 1951"] It’s this simple....there are 3 ways to use a riflescope SFP BDC Reticle - LESS than max used for walking around or shooting within max PBR. Max power for shooting with and without BDC. This really works for a lot of big game hunting because you can shoot 300 - 600 yds pretty well on 12-16x max power. SFP turret twister - This is usually a duplex or simple reticle and good uncapped turrets. This can work in a lot of situations, but do you have time/clear mind to dial? FFP Reticle - Same as BDC, but the reticle can work on any magnification. Basically, you can have a 24x max, but dial down the power to 16x or so and still use the reticle. Really a good choice. there is also FFP & turret twisting in one optic. It is more flexible, but basically same function as last 2 combined. The negative is this is a lot of features so, the scopes start around 2lbs....and get heavier. Do you put a 2.5 lb optic on a 6-7lb walking around stick? I do not. [/QUOTE]
