[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1215987, member: 90399"] I was really surprised the first time I used a FFP scope (It was a Vortex). The reticle got so thick at higher powers I felt like I was at a disadvantage trying to be accurate with it. More recently I have been informed of FFP varmint scopes where the reticle stays thin, but almost disappears at the lower power settings because it is so thin. I have not used one of those myself, but I am interested in trying someday. Honestly you don't even need a ranging reticle if you don't plan to hold over for elevation or windage. Many "target" scopes designed to shoot very far distances only have the simple plain cross hairs. This is not what I prefer, only pointing it out. I know your original question was not about scopes. But I'm glad you took the time to watch the video and I'm glad you found it beneficial. [/QUOTE]
