[QUOTE="KYpatriot, post: 1021292, member: 48028"] If you hunt, then a FFP will help you. Hunting is a dynamic situation...I change power all the time based on conditions. Field of view can be critical, if there is mirage then max power can exacerbate it, there are tons of reasons in the field you might want lesser magnification. With FFP, set the mag where you want and your wind holds will always be accurate, no math required. If the ballistic app says 2.3 mils, you hold 2.3 mils and dont have to worry about it. Even better, if you know your rifle, for shorter range shots like 3 to 600 you can just use your retical and again the holds are accurate wherever the dial. I have a SFP, and missed what should have been an easy holdover shot on a coyote because I forgot I had dialed down some for better FOV while they were traveling. It will get you eventually. If I were shooting 1000 yard benchrest at a stationary target with plenty of time to dope the shot then yeah it doesn't matter. But for hunting FFP has some distinct advantages. [/QUOTE]
