[QUOTE="Twentyguns, post: 1868755, member: 108963"] For me SFP is best if using a range finder for purely hunting. Range, dial and shoot if that's your model. I like the FFP and had a IOR FFP with the MP8 that I liked at any magnification but haven't been in love with any other FFP i've looked throught yet... since for hunting apps. Just too fine at low magnification for my old eyes. I may be mistaken but, depending what quality of glass you want, the FFPs may have better glass available. My understanding is that the glass is better as an example in the Lup 5HDs coating wise, than the V lines. And looking at the upper class glass, Zero Comp. the 3k plus class, etc, SFPs are thin as frogs teeth. As has been stated, on low magnification seeing the reticle can be tough on FFP if not impossible in field conditions. You really have to look through them and decide for yourself what will work. I've held off on upgrading glass to the super HD level until I can get to cs or somewhere to see if at lower mags in timber, early or late, reticles will be visible. Guess illumination kind of addresses that, but for me simpler is better so it would be nice to find premium glass with all the features I like in a SFP. [/QUOTE]
