[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 2109208, member: 95733"] Well I have my first FFP scope arriving Wednesday and will try my best to give it a work out ASAP and compare it's illuminated FFP reticle's performance in very low light at most power settings using both my WGS 4.5-14x40 (superb glass in my humble opinion) and my Bushnell 4200 in 4-12x40 both have non illuminated plane jane duplex reticles. I had planned on doing this from the beginning. I bought this particular scope with a illuminated FFP reticle because #1 it has 9/10 of the features I most wanted and #2 it is a phenomenal bargain and no other scope I found met 9/10 of requirements was even close to the cost of this scope and this scope was anywhere from 45% to 125% cheaper than any other scope I found that met enough of my requirements to be worth buying. I had a bunch of requirements for this scope purchase which is the most expensive piece of optical equipment I have ever bought but absolute must haves were: >Proven track record of durability and reliability in terms of tracking and return to zero >Zero stop >Locking turrets >A simple uncluttered easy to understand and use reticle for HUNTING and long range target shooting that I really liked and was fast and easy to use for drop and wind adjustments >NOT made in Communist China >Made by an well established optical company I ended up making only one compromise and bought a FFP scope VS my original intent on buying a SFP scope. With a little luck will know if I made the right choice or not before months end. [/QUOTE]
