[QUOTE="Forcedoutage, post: 2427109, member: 108448"] Very very very reticle dependent. There are some FFP reticle a that you can’t see much and suck for jumped game and there are some that are really good. I don’t like having to walk in or out or around with illumination on and depend on it staying on or not being dead when I need it. So take illumination out of the equation unless you want to talk trijicon. They are very good for jumped game. If I’m shooting distance, I’m dialed up and taking a shot where I need the reticle to be right, I’m dialed up high enough for it to work. So no issues there. So I don’t see a ton of difference or advantage of FFP over SFP. If I spot a target and shoot long, I’m magnified up anyway and the reticle is right. If I jump one short, I need to see my reticle and the specific reticle is more important there. Maybe there is some magic mid range distance when you don’t have time to dial and want to hold over and your top power is too high to see well? I can’t imagine that unless you have a 35-40 power scope on a hunting righ 🤣🤣🤣 I have both and see the advantage in competition. For hunting, a SFP is good to me. FFP can be as good, but you must have the right reticle. [/QUOTE]
