[QUOTE="PNWdude67, post: 1845092, member: 110615"] Spent most of my hunting life shooting Second Focal plane and switched to FFP in 2017 when we started shooting field matches. For the purpose of longe range hunting I am somewhat surprised more have not invested the time to learn about the features and benefits of the FFP. This season I was fortunate to harvest two deer and one mountain line at 600-800 yard range with the FFP scope I practice and compete with. IMHO laser range finding is still key to getting the accurate distance for the elevation adjustment. We reticle range steel targets of known size and do ok with the process. For my personal skill level estimating the size of game and mil ranging them is not accurate enough to attempt shots beyond about 300-400 yards. We zero at 100 and dial up. Where the FFP shines and added the extra feature to execute the 2 kill shots this season was holding the correct wind after the elevation was dialed in the turret. The milradian or (MOA) reference marks are accurate for wind regardless of the power setting. As far as the reticle being “useless” at low power, I again disagree. My ZCO at 4 power essentially becomes a duplex or cross hair and if faced with a 200 yard or less shot the lowest power gives excellent field of view and clear reference for a straight up hold which combined with a 100 yards zero is optimal. The versatility of the FFP is what makes it the preferred system for us. [/QUOTE]
