[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 340043, member: 11717"] BB summed it up pretty well. Here's my view on it. I zero my rifles 250-300 yds depending on bullet velocity. Any shot out to 400 yds is a no brainer set on low power (in my case 5.5x) Anything more than that and I will usually set the scope to max power (22x) which is what my 2 MOA reticle is calibrated for. If I choose 11 power, the reticle is 1 MOA and the math is easy. In most cases, a long shot will provide ample time to dial up and it only takes a few seconds more to dial. Ranging, doping, checking PDA or charts and getting set up take a lot more time. If you cant get the shot off in time, it's probably not because you didn't have a few seconds to dial. So for me it's a moot point. In the case of illuminted reticles, my question is, does the increased size of the reticle on low power in low light have a blinding or washing out effect? To each his own preference. I like the SFP. Mark [/QUOTE]
