[QUOTE="brentc, post: 1416063, member: 16938"] I too use both and I prefer both for different situations. I actually find it easier to use max magnification on an SFP for the longest shots simply because the reticle doesn't drown out a small target like an FFP on Max magnification can. Although, Newer FFP scopes have better reticle sizing and designs like small floating dots to help make the entire magnification range more useful. I also find it easier to obtain a parallax free focus with SFP scopes. The FFP shines in the mid magnification ranges. For instance, with a 6-24x, the most useable magnification range is 8-20x to keep the reticle from being too small on the low end and too large on the high end. [/QUOTE]
