[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 773493, member: 13632"] Soooo, I've been searching reticles on some FFP optics in an effort to see what gives, and try to find something that is close to what I know works well in the SFP optic and hopefully a decent price point that the average dude could afford. The Nightforce NP-R1 seems to be the bench mark for me, shot it a bunch at long range and it's proven very good for me and others with a reticle of .062 MOA, I also shoot the Vortex HS LR and at about 8-900 yards I start having to compromise a little and at a mile it takes ingenuity for me to get the kind of hold I want some of which is the reticle thickness and some is glass quality but the price point is excellent and it functions decent but nothing that will blow anyone's socks of, reticle is .156 MOA so these are my two benchmarks that I'm very familiar with in SFP. The Nightforce NP-R1F1 comes in at .205 MOA. Vortex Razor EBE-2B is .150 MOA and EBR-2 at .200 MOA. Vortex Viper PST EBR-1 is .180 MOA. Vortex HS LR comes in at .100 MOA. Premier 5-25 Gen2XR is .075 in/hundred yards. Premier 3-15 Gen2XR is .114 in/hundred yards. I found it's kinda hard to find the reticle specs on most sites, Kahles M6 I just could not find though the optic is interesting. Tried to find a few others I know of but could not but it would be nice to have a better list. The Vortex HS LR actually is interesting because it's one of the finest FFP reticles I could find and it has a decent price point. The Premier 5-25 has the thinnest reticle of any FFP optics I could find which is cool but still thicker than the NP-R1 or even a SFP PST with a .060 thick reticle. This question still comes to my mind and that is if I bought say the Vortex HS LR FFP and I'm rolling into my hunting area and run into elk that are needing to die and it's low light early in the morning in the timber am I going to be able to find my reticle at 6x or am I going to be trying to fumble the scope and get it turned up in power, which will make target acquisition difficult, to see my cross hair. I know from experience that I can crank my my HS LR SFP DOWN, improving target acquisition, and get a clear reticle on a bull. [/QUOTE]
