[QUOTE="Wyosam, post: 2175588, member: 113713"] I had gradually switched all my scopes to FFP (or fixed) mil scopes. Then I decided I dont actually like FFP for hunting, at least on a scope in my price range. I also don’t like heavy scopes in the mountains. Both MOA and mils work easily in my mind, they are just different ways of measuring angles. I switched to FFP because I dont like the opportunity to botch a shot by using subtensions at the wrong power setting. So for my hunting scope, I went back to SFP but ditched the subtensions. VX6hd 2-12, duplex. For a shot long enough to matter, I’ll dial the wind if needed. In my mind that leaves less room for error than using a reticle that requires being on the highest power for accuracy. When shooting at game, I want a wide FOV to minimize the chance of losing them in the scope after the shot so I prefer not to be at highest power. That is my rational for the duplex. [/QUOTE]
