Would a reticle for a spotter be sufficient if it was SFP vs FFP.

[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 953744, member: 48559"] Having riflescopes with moa reticles in both SFP and FFP, I can see the merits of each type, but prefer FFP. Many folks fault the FFP reticle for being too fine at low mag, too coarse at high mag, but I don't find that to be the case with my Viper HSLR. The lines of the grid are 0.15 moa thick, with an open center 0.45 moa wide, with a dot 0.15 moa diameter dead center. Nothing I want to shoot can hide behind that. On low power, I am usually looking at a target I have no need to measure, so the "fade away" of the detail grid is no handicap, and the thick outer bars bracket the target for fast shots very well. I would want a similarly proportioned FFP in a spotter, but if it had to be SFP, I would want the lowest mag subtension to be one moa, with clearly marked (and tactile clicks if possible) intervals yielding half-moa, then quarter-moa, etc. as the need for fine measurements is greatest at the longest distances. If Vortex put it in their 50mm Razor, I'll buy it. [/QUOTE]
