[QUOTE="Browninglover1, post: 1222070, member: 29966"] You are correct in your example that the SFP reticle would actually cover more of the target on 16x than the FFP would. The major downfall to FFP reticles is that since they shrink in apparent size as magnification drops they can be difficult to see. On a prairie dog gun this is not a problem because you'll always be shooting at higher powers and the reticle will always be readily visible. If you take that same FFP scope into the dark timber after elk it make be difficult to see the reticle for quick shots on the lowest magnification; this problem is often overcome through the use of an illuminated reticle.
