[QUOTE="Airedale56, post: 2974407, member: 66305"] Kiowa Cowboy, Bear with me for a minute here. Like you, I was in search of a new scope under the same parameters you have listed. I was dead set on a first focal plane scope. After I actually held one and looked through it, I took a chance on a second focal plane scope that has a Mil reticle AND 1/10 mil adjustments. The milling part is accurate only at 15x, the top magnification. Leupold VX5-HD 3-15x44, 30mm main tube, HTMR Reticle, CDS (you can order a custom dial for your load and elevation) 1/10 Mil adjustments in a (SFP) second focal plane. Part #178027 It is basically a mil-dot reticle but has a hash mark at each mil in the reticle instead of a dot. The hash marks take up less space for precision aiming in my experience. I love my FFP MIL/MIL scopes from NF and ZCo. I've used many SFP variables since 1972. I've seen this scope advertised online in used condition $800-900 range here on LRH. MSRP is about $1,200. You may find a dealer friend of yours who may cut you a break on his price to you. For a hunting scope, it may fit what you're looking for, especially if paired with a laser rangefinder. I am sold on this scope for the price. Mine is on a Weatherby 307 Range XP .243 1/7.5T. I am SOLD on this scope and plan to buy several more. I drove a straight 10x FFP Mil-dot reticle on my agency rifle from 1988-1995. Good luck with your search. Go Pokes! Okie. [/QUOTE]
