[QUOTE="Ernie, post: 201522, member: 13"] I am using a 5-25 S&B for awhile that has Holland's ART in it and 3 weeks ago I was able to go to Missoula, MT for one of their 1Kmatches (10 shots-PA club). First time up using a rear grip 6.5-284 XP-100 & the S&B scope my first 5 shots were under 6.5 inches (horizontal group around 2 inches). My 13 year old shot the next relay with the same rig (first time ever at a rifle match) and had 9 out of ten shots in 11.5 inches. 6th shot had a form break and it dropped 10" to turn the group into a 21 or 22 inch group overall. His vertical group on the 9 shots though was three inches-Conditions were moving the group from right to left, while during my relay it moved them up and into the right slightly. At least with the S&B with Holland's reticle, I would say that the the FFP is plenty good enough to be precisely accurate @ least at 1K on 25 power. Moved the scope to my center-grip XP chambered in 7mm Dakota and will go to a fun tactical style shoot this weekend in MT (distances from 350 to around 1K). It will be great that I can turn down the magnification if I want and not worry about subtensions changing on me--This scope is spoiling me. [/QUOTE]
