[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1477744, member: 8873"] Jeff (and GordO) has a point- if at all possible look through the scope at different ranges, at different magnifications, at different sized/color targets, and in different light conditions...they are not all created equal as far as reticles (thickness & “amount” of business, and is it lighted?), glass quality or performance. That goes for both FFP and SFP! I do not think it’s the best thing to categorize the FFP all together. To each their own, and it seems there is something for everyone. Now saying that on my ELR rifle I am running a SFP Nightforce NXS. Why? Because it’s a time proven dependable scope, and the best I can afford.:D Even that scope gets bad comments by some now a days:rolleyes:, my how spoiled we have become...but isn’t it nice!!!:D Disclaimer: I’m not taking shots at anyone in particular or at any particular equipment. As for scopes- I use both SFP, FFP, illuminated reticles, non-illuminated reticles, zero stop, non-zero stop, mil reticles, moa reticles, mil turrets, moa turret and any & all combos there of. The scope does not make the rifle any more accurate. It is merely an aiming apparatus to make the shooter more accurate (if used properly). And therefore since it’s for the individual shooter, and we all are individuals with individual needs/wants/requirements, it is (as FEENIX would say) a personal choice. The good news is that there are enough choices that there is the right application for about everything. The bad news is that you have to figure out what it is. That and I don’t believe there is an optic (or rifle, or cartridge) that fits every situation. Sorry, coffee kicking in!!! [/QUOTE]
