[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 406992, member: 2011"] Dave, OK if I argue a bit?:) I've only had and still have 1 FFP scope. An old model Weaver Tactical. The optics turn out to be very good. Its biggest problems are the Mil Dot reticle and 1/8" clicks and calibration @ 10X. The 4.5-14 power range is excellent! Its mounted on a 338 RUM. I'm anal enough that "where Exactly where is 10X?" If the cal was at full power it would be a different thing. From experience in the woods dry firing on deer out to 1000 yrds (it was elk season). Taking the imaginary head shot was no problem. Ravens looked like a good possibility also. I feel I could make a 1K shot on 4.5 power on anything from a crow size bird to an elk IF the reticle would get me that far. I have no idea of where a NightForce reticle is calibrated. I own one but haven't touched it yet.:rolleyes: I wouldn't mind if it were a FFP. Just jawin'...... [/QUOTE]
