[QUOTE="Broz, post: 599543, member: 7503"] Jon, I have friends that have attended Hollands school. They told me that it was taught to learn to range with reticles. I know for a fact they do this and they use FFP scope for this reason. This is partially how I drew that conclusion. But they do use the reticle ranging system to certain distances. We have had long discussions about this method, its advantages and its short commings. I have no where near the experience you and others do with the FFP's. Why, because I admitidly only gave it one honest attemp. That was a NF NXS 3.5x15 FFP. Not a cheap scope by any means. I compared it to a 3.5x15 sfp in the field. You are right, I hated it. But it was easy to sell so I realize there are needs for the FFP. I have since replaced those scopes with 5.5x22 NXS's in SFP. Why does Nightforce ony offer FFP in the lower power 3.5x15? Beacuse the lower power scopes are better at longer distances? Another fact I have used to draw my opinions. Why does anyone even offer a SFP if the FFP is the holey grail of scopes? It would seem that if they are the best for all usage then the SFP's would become extinct. Anyway, I do not contest to know everything. But I do know my personal capabilities at long range, and the more I shoot the more comfortable I become. Right now I feel the SFP is best for the kind of shooting I do. If you are ever down this way you are welcome to come visit and shoot with me. Maybe you can teach me something about FFP scopes. And just maybe you will pick something up too. But please be more courteous with your wording when you knock on my door. Jeff [/QUOTE]
