[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1868657, member: 10291"] Interestingly, after some use of both, I found myself easily adjusting whether I use an FFP or SFP while hunting, not much different then switching from my single trigger waterfowl shotgun to my double trigger side by side used for upland game.. My subconscious seems to make the change in my motor skills.resulting in the seamless and instant adjustment. Most of my hunting scopes are SFP with power ranges in the 5x-20x range with 1MOA reticle divisions at max power, for both vertical and horizontal planes. My normal mode of carry has the power set at 10x, with my power ring lever, (a very useful device for ease of game acquisition), position set at 10x. This is easily adjusted to 10x or 20x either visually or by feel. For the longer shots using higher power, the power ring is simply turned to max power, with a return to 10x instantly brought to position if required. At 20x the substensions are 1MOA; at 10x, they are 2MOA. If lower then 10x is called for, the lower substension values are generally superfluous because the range is usually short, not requiring use of the reticle scale. 10x or 20x is used for +90% of my hunting shots. At these powers I can use either turrets or the reticle for wind or elevation adjustments very effectively. [/QUOTE]
