So does mine..........

1 ) I donot wear undies
Didn't mean to be personal, just an expression You came off to me as a little extra excited about it.
2 ) Most seem to have missed the main point , some one giving advice on some thing they have NEVER used , ie no experience to base any opinion on , Opps , other than gunshop mags .
In this case I dont think personal experience is all that important. Reason being... The stated advantages are simply not advantages - not the way I hunt, zero etc. That's just a fact.
The only advantage I see, as I stated before, is if in the very rare circumstance, I was forced to shoot on low power due to mirage, and I did not have time to dial in the dope. Mirage can be a fairly common issue, but in setting up for a long shot, it takes a fair amount of time to range, get set up, and calculate the dope. Dialing in the dope is a small part of that time and missing the opportunity for that extra 5-10 seconds would be rare. Things are usually hurried or not. When hurried, you're probably going miss the opportunity anyway. The chances of these to things happening at the same time would be slim. This is the only practical advantage I see too the FFP
3 ) I did not , But was going to say some people may be trying to justify that for them the SPF is better/superior in function , when in the back of their mind its actually the extra cost that stops them from buying a top FFP scope .
I'm not saying that the SFP is better in function. I'm saying that FFP isn't any better than the SFP for practical hunting, other than on the very rare situation mentioned. It therefore does not justify the extra cost IMO. And even if they were the same price, i would still go with the SFP, simply because I do not like the small, busy look of the reticle on low power - purely subjective.
I am Too old to get bent over anything , just find some things quite amusing .
The older I get, the more bent over I get after a long days hunt

How about fog if so what brand ?
It seems to me that the bigger beam of divergence (usually cheaper, less accurate rangefinders) ranges farther in the snow than smaller beam of divergence (usually cost more, more accurate) don't do well with falling objects in the way(rain/snow).
Has the Vortex Viper PST FFP came out yet?
Also IOR has a good FFP scope for about $1600. My second choice over the Viper PST.
It burns through fog as well--you literally will have no idea what you're ranging if it's thick enough because you can't see it at all. If you can see it, you can range it. It's the Newcon 3000 Pro.How about fog if so what brand ?
No, it's the opposite. The smaller the beam divergence the better. However this is not the only factor at play. If you have a weak, dim laser with small beam divergence, you still have a weak, dim laser that will be easily blocked. The 3000 Pro has both a small beam divergence and an extremely bright, powerful laser.It seems to me that the bigger beam of divergence (usually cheaper, less accurate rangefinders) ranges farther in the snow than smaller beam of divergence (usually cost more, more accurate) don't do well with falling objects in the way(rain/snow).
