[QUOTE="Canhunter35, post: 1385109, member: 101677"] Ballistic reticles aren’t real useful because your trajectory changes with air density which changes. You need an Moa or mil based reticle. Preferably with matching turrets. Moa/Moa or mil/mil. You use the reticle for wind holds and can also make little holdovers at closer ranges. I use sfp scopes because if I’m shooting an animal far enough that I’ve ranged it and dialed I’m going to want my scope cranked to max. I haven’t found a need for a ffp while hunting yet. I have 3 6-20x scopes and like them for hunting. I wouldn’t go higher than 6 on the low end though. Whatever scope you choose you need to install a bubble level on it and use it when dialing. That range finder should serve u well. Good luck and have fun putting a lr rig together. I have a milspec in 308 and it’s a good gun. Actually it the rifle on my profile pic [/QUOTE]
