[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1867009, member: 94491"] the Zero distance point (center of reticle) will not change with power on either SFP,-- --- BUT, the "BDC" drop points/ mil marks etc. will chance distances with power change --- good way to see this is to use the strelok app and adjust the "zoom" in the "reticle" tab-- you will see the zero point stays the same, but the drop points change FFP the drop points will not change, BUT the reticle size will increase an decrease with "zoom" -- zero is zero (pretty much) advantages and disadvantages to both systems FFP is often times easier to "range" your target if you know its size, yet drop points are not adjustable so they may be odd distances and the reticle may cover too much of your target on full zoom at longer distances SFP, drop points are "adjustable", reticle size wont change, but ranging is slightly more difficult there is also the personal preference part of it all too, I prefer the SFP for hunting as I use a LRF [/QUOTE]
