[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 599531, member: 319"] If that's the case, who? There are 40,000 members here, many have expressed their preference for FFP scopes in this section. Who uses them to hunt big game at long range without a LRF? You said [I]mos[/I]t of them do that. I'll stand by my statement that the actual number who fit your description is virtually nil. If not, name some names that show me I'm wrong. That's not a matter of preference or opinion, people use them or they don't. I can't think of a single Long Range Hunter who doesn't use one regardless of scope choice. And if they don't they should. First, many of the smallest groups I've shot actually have been on ~1 MOA targets--"quartering" a round or square target with the reticle, centering a dot in a round bull, etc, can yield quite accurate results. But what makes you think FFP scopes can't be used on smaller targets? When there are FFP reticles (ones I've mentioned a thousand times) as thin as .086 MOA, they can precisely aim at some very tiny targets indeed. That's less than 1/10th MOA thickness. Have you actually tried such a reticle? I know you don't, and I truly apologize if that's how my post sounded. This was not my intention. I know you have a great deal of very real experience and post very valuable information. I look forward to your posts and find a great deal of good info on many subjects. This subject seems to be the exception. I just really think if you tried a FFP scope that was a good choice for your application, you'd find that while you still may not like it, your belief that it couldn't get the job done very well would change.
