[QUOTE="Starbuck, post: 2449137, member: 120719"] The LRHSi the OP decided on is FFP, but it includes a "doughnut" style reticle. The doughnut appears like a small dot in the center of the crosshairs on low X. They are very good for close up shots on moving game in heavy cover. A lot of folks don't like the "doughnuts of death" because they obfuscate view at higher X, but it is a trade off I'm willing to make. For big game hunting, I like scopes that don't compromise close range gimmie shots. I also like to track when there's snow and stalk timber when there's little moving. Other ways this can be accomplished for FFP's is to have the cross members of the reticle heavier to about 5 mil or less from center so that you can bracket game on low X, or simply just lighting the reticle. While I like lit reticles, I like reticles that are usable throughout the X range without being lit even better. I suspect that reticles like the THLR will become more commonplace on FFP hunting Scopes. [/QUOTE]
