[QUOTE="kilmer, post: 1087874, member: 41193"] To clarify: FFP is neither 'new' nor is it a sign of 'high quality'. It's simply placing the reticle in a different part of the scope. It was the standard practice in European made scopes for a very long time, but even Europeans have switched over, for the most part, to SFP. A good 90% of scopes sold worldwide are SPF. FFP has one real advantage and that is that your reticle stadiaii subtend the same at all magnifications. All other advantages go to SFP. This becomes even more true the further you depart from 3x zoom ranges. Use what makes you happy. Familiarity with your equipment ,and the frequent application thereof, both trump the placement of the reticle in the optical system, and in spades. [/QUOTE]
