[QUOTE="redchinviking, post: 2756762, member: 110512"] This might have been answered already but after a little digging I found nothing. Spoke with an engineer at one of the market leading scope manufacturers recently about whether a SFP was more durable mechanically than a FFP. Which one is statistically more likely to fail from impacts. Return to zero, accurate tracking, or catastrophic fail. He beat around the bush for awhile then basically said yes, SFP theoretically are more durable than FFP. My personal experience…doesn’t really matter. I want to know the truth from people who REALLY know. Looking for real tangible technical answers here not just from the couple scopes you’ve owned answers. When talking middle to higher end scopes that are higher quality is there a difference in durability for FFP vs SFP say in the same line so we’re talking apples to apples? For instance NightForce ATACR ffp vs sfp, Leupold Mark V ffp vs sfp Any riflescope engineers out there listening? [/QUOTE]
