[QUOTE="cummins cowboy, post: 1770620, member: 28348"] this doesn't surprise me. look I just try to keep it all interesting around here. there is a saying that consensus isn't science. the bottom line with everything I have tried to say is that there should be distinct differences in range/competition scopes, vs hunting scopes. There are different uses. Every optic is a compromise of something. as much as I bash mils including the people that say they are the only thing to use. Even I concede they are the best choice most likely with FFP scopes. as much as I hate FFP and have no use for them. Even I concede its what you want on higher powered scopes, 6-24, 5-30x etc. but those uses I concede FFP and mil is the way to go are for situations that aren't for hunting. you simply can't give up low power reticle visibility in a hunting scope. I don't want to tote my gun around with my scope set to 7 or 8x, I want 3x or 4x for a quick unplanned shot, an animal that appears maybe moving at 150 yards, there is such thing as tactical elitism, as to which system is better it just depends on your use of the scope. but I would say this its a hunting forum, so I would expect advice slanted toward hunting. snipers hide will give you tactical/PRS/ competition shooting advice, ITS DIFFERENT and should be!
