[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1416295, member: 68875"] What is the issue with FOV between FFP & SFP? I would think it has more to do with magnification range than focal plane. A 3-18 or 3-20 would have wider FOV range than a 5-25 or 6-24. But then magnification at highest setting suffers slightly as you lose the top end. Lower magnification gives wider FOV, great for still hunting or short range fast action. 3x trumps 6x for this. To be honest, even at ranges beyond most rifles capabilities of cleanly taking big game, 17 or 18x is plenty for medium sized game. Like 1300-1500+ yards. [/QUOTE]
