[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 783004, member: 11717"] Here is the OP. Just state the facts and your experiences. My view is that SFP is of greater advantage to [B]ME[/B] for the following reasons. From point blank to about 350 yds I shoot with point blank aim or slight holdover with scope set on lowest power. I shoot higher velocity, flatter trajectory bullets for the most part and zero @ 200 yds. At an estimated 250-300 yds I use my rangefinder which takes time. From 300-500 yds I use a quick reference drop chart. Max come up at that range is about 5-6 MOA - no big deal. It takes about 30 sec to accomplish. Beyond 500 yds, I range, dope and dial. Ranging and doping take a bit of time. Dialing takes a few seconds. Settling into my shot takes more time. I don't take such shots off hand or off the knee. In fact, I rarely shoot offhand or off the knee beyond 100 yds although I have consistently rung steel to 300 yds. Some where in the 350-500 yd range I transition from low power to max power on my scope. FFP is not a factor. So I have answered the OP's question from [B]MY[/B] perspective. From the FFP user's perspective what is the advantage? [/QUOTE]
