[QUOTE="Chase723, post: 1593499, member: 21524"] If you only shoot a duplex reticle and you don't use a reticle for anything (ranging, assessing how much you missed by, zeroing, holding for wind, holding overs, etc), and only dial for elevation and wind, then it doesn't matter. If you actually want to proficiently use a reticle for all of those things regardless of the power setting then that's EXPONENTIALLY EASIER/FASTER with a FFP scope. The only advantage a SFP scope has, which is trivial for all other applications, is for F class/benchrest shooters since the reticle size doesn't change with a change in the magnification setting. Therefore it often allows for a finer aiming point. That's it. Nothing else. As far as shooting in low light is concerned, with all due respect, that's just not true. What do you consider low light? Pitch black? With my FFP scopes you can shoot all the way up to the point that you would need a night vision device. [/QUOTE]
