[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 726871, member: 23486"] You're correct, the SFP hash marks will change with magnification adjustment. Then again, if you're got time to fiddle fart around with magnification adjustment due to mirage, you got enough time to dial your drop & drift. Again, for consistent performance at extended ranges, 15x just doesn't cut it in my book. On the other hand, most hunting rifles are not bench rifles; right? As I posted before, my 6.5 wears a 17x USO which wouldn't provide the most optimal magnification for consistent 1000yd shooting :rolleyes: Will this gun be accurate at 1000yds? Absolutely. Will the majority of my shots be taken at 1000yds? Nope, not even close. Basically it's up to the end user to determine: 1- How far they intend to shoot 2- How often they intend to shoot at that distance 3- Whether or not they use the hash marks for drop & drift (SFP vs FFP). My last two scope purchases were FFP, one in MILS (Leupy) & one in MOA (USO). We'll see if they are worth it or not, i'm still on the fence. I also shoot a NightForce (SFP) with great results, here in Wyo there just aren't that many days ahuntin' where I need to adjust or compensate for mirage. Majority of the time you can watch the mirage at your target & get a better understanding of what the wind is doing down there.... Mirage isn't ALWAYS your enemy :D t [/QUOTE]
