[QUOTE="JungleShooter, post: 2426743, member: 110729"] 🔸As mentioned earlier, in timber the reticle is harder to see, no matter if FFP or SFP. So it's nice to have ilumination available — one that allows fine tuning the brightness to prevent your low-light adapted eyes from getting blinded. 🔸And at low magnification [B]the thick outside posts of an FFP reticle guide your eyes toward the intersection[/B] of the crosshairs. Note that some FFP reticles do NOT have those thick outside posts. 🔸For my shooting scenarios I find it useful to see with the FFP reticle how far my previous shot was off, and immediately dial that offset (or hold it off) — without mental arithmetics — [B]at any magnification[/B], not just at the magnification the reticle was calibrated at.
