[QUOTE="bstomper, post: 1154448, member: 37250"] I am in the market for a new scope and I am 99% sure it's gonna be a Vortex viper HSLR 4-16X50. I want the adjustable elevation turret so I can dial and shoot. I also like the deadhold reticle. I have read numerous articles and posts on FFP and SFP and think that I have an prety good idea of what they mean as well as some of the pros and cons of each But I have never had a FFP scope and I am a bit leary of it. I have not looked at or through one of these scopes yet as I live 4 hours away from the nearest hunting and shooting supply outlet. I highly doubt that I would use the reticle for ranging but it would be nice to use it for windage hold over. I know with the FFP the hash marks are accurate at any magnafication. With the SFP do the windage hash marks only work at the highest magnafication or can they also be used at different magnifications with a specified correction factor (IE: one hash mark at 16 power is one MOA and at 8 power it is .5 MOA). Also If I range with my rangefinder and and use my balistics calculator to find how many MOA I need to dial for elevation and windage, will those numbers work at any magnification from lowest to highest. I hope this makes sence. [/QUOTE]
