[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 955917, member: 48559"] Another vote for the 4-16xHSLR FFP. I have two of them, having stepped up from the SFP model on two earlier rifles. If you are going to do much shooting that calls for measuring things (like antler spread or wind holds) The FFP reticle offers finer detail and accurate subtension regardless of magnification setting. The SFP reticle has 2moa intervals on the horizontal, which doesn't help precision in the wind correction- and the interval grows as you turn down the mag setting. Easy to overlook in the excitement of the moment. Either model works great when dialing range corrections, but if using holdovers, again the FFP reticle with its 1moa interval is better- and it also has the "Christmas tree" windage markings below center so you can hold elevation and wind at the same time without having to guess at one or the other. And unlike some FFP reticles that are a little thick at high mag and block the view of small targets, these have an open center to the cross with a 0.15moa dot right in the middle. I don't shoot at anything small enough to hide behind that. [/QUOTE]
