[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 772472, member: 13632"] I have not gotten my hands on the Premier optics unfortunately, but on reticle thickness if your saying they are the same between the 5-25 and 3-15 then the manual must be wrong cause it's saying .075 in/hundred for the 5-25 and .144 in/hundred for the 3-15. The real issue is that I can choose an optic by it's fit and function for the purpose I'm using it, I don't need to by SFP or FFP based on that alone but by how they perform in my situation. My situation has proven I have to use a lighted reticle to shoot up close early in the morning on dark game with a FFP where I have not with a SFP, and when it's light enough to ID game at long range I can center up on any animal I choose and pick my aim point better with an optic that has a reticle on the thin side which again favors the SFP more times that the FFP. I shoot an optic a lot that has a .156 MOA thick reticle as a mid range scope, it suxs for shooting out at a mile but I can do fine by painting two colors on the target but on game it's different, antelope are a prefect example, my aim point on a goat is a small spot at the corner of the white behind the shoulder and I can't hold that point much past 800 yards because of the reticle thickness and I start having to compromise my aim point and use bracketing to try to make it happen. Coyotes is even worse, at a grand I'm basically whipping lead at something under the cross hair and not able to use a solid aim point. Same shooting with a NXS and a NP-R1 and it's soooo much easier to get a pin point aim point and I know this reticle will be there and usable at very low light and low magnification while hunting also. What I'm saying is not everyone hunts or shoots the same conditions or has the same goals so to just choose an optic because it's FFP vs SFP is a small part of the equation to be basing the whole enchilada on.
