[QUOTE="Broz, post: 599280, member: 7503"] RedHunter, It was not a stupid question by any means and I don't think any of us felt it was. But it is a topic that has been debated before in the recent past. Hopefully you were able to gather some useful ifno from the posts to help you decide what will work best for you. If not maybe tell us what your intended method of ranging a target is, and at what max distance you hope to shoot to as your progress into LR hunting and shooting. Then more accurate info directed to your needs will be given. Most of the short shooters with small calibers will be the ones that prefer the FFP's. They range with reticles and are very effective to maybe 700 yards. But for a shooter that has hopes of shooting targets to a mile the SFP I feel is a better choice. I have owned both and shot both to a mile. Now, all my scopes are SFP's. The increasing size of the FFP reticle simply was just to large when the pinpoint accuracy of point of aim is so critical at extended distances. This is a great site with may knowledable members , and most all answers are correct that are given. But with the wide variety of methods and distances that are shot, you need to be specific with a question. You can never supply to much info. This is long range hunting forum, but what is long range to some is not to others and visa-versa. Jeff [/QUOTE]
