[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1477787, member: 8873"] Yes sir, it’s a 5.5-22x50. Gotta admit I would have been borderline panic model, may have been the only chance on an elk I would have all year (maybe two)! Good example of wrong reticle for intended purpose. I have used a few FFP scopes that I would say are not good for hunting. The Falcon Menace I have with the skeletonized reticle is a great example of hard to pick up at anywhere near low power in anything but good lighting. However, the MP-8 I had in a 3-18 FFP IOR was good from low to high power. I have also used SFP reticles that were hard to pick up at low light, the fine duplex in Leupolds is one I don’t like for hunting. You may have had the same problem on the cow elk with that one. My point is that I’m not totally disagreeing with you as there is validity. I’m saying that FFP isn’t the devil (even when hunting), it’s we as end users to blame for not picking the right tool for the job. [/QUOTE]
