[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 493209, member: 30902"] No. FFP is overrated in my opinion for hunting applications, particularly for anyone who is used to SFP scopes. Generally you are looking at, at least 200-400.00 more for FFP vs SFP even in otherwise identical scopes and having shot both A LOT, for most applications it's just not worth the difference in cost. No scope in and of itself is going to make you a great shooter, and at the ranges you're talking about 600yds or less, unless you are trying to shoot prairie dog sized critters you can over spend and get far more glass than you need in a hurry. I routinely shoot prairie dogs out to 500yds, with just a 3.5-10x44 conquest, and tons of coyotes out to 800 with the 4.5-14x44 conquest as well. The 3.5-10x50 Leupold was the only high end scope I owned for about twenty years and we took numerous hogs and deer out to 800yds with it on a 7mm Mag. To me the quality of the glass and repeatability along with holding of zero are by far the most important aspects of a scope for general hunting applications and varmint shooting. [/QUOTE]
