[QUOTE="Senderofan, post: 1088442, member: 13831"] Please don't take this in a negative way....But have you experienced a FFP scope? The reason I ask this...if you are accustomed to SFP scopes...and your primary mission is paper punching...I'd stay with SFP. You are going to pay extra money for a FFP scope and then have to train your brain because it's different.......not too big of a deal but something you should be aware of. And as far as the Vortex PST being "Too much scope".......I'd say that isn't true. Most guys, just starting out, will eventually want to extend their range and accuracy. The 6-24x has very repeatable and accurate turrets....to make precise shots at long range. IMHO, you want to purchase the highest quality optic that your budget allows for....when setting up your long range rig. Besides regular training with really good ammo....the scope can have a big impact on your accuracy. The Vortex PST FFP 6-24X by 50mm is an excellent scope. I'm thinking they sell a pretty decent amount of them. I put one on a AR-15 that is set up to shoot heavier bullets. I've been switching my scopes over to FFP so that my sub tensions are always accurate no matter what magnification...with the turrets. There are a lot of nice scopes out there....that would fit your budget. I'd even look in the used section of different forums. Most any of the big names would work....I especially think Sightron and Vortex do a nice job. I'll also throw this one out: [url=http://www.cameralandny.com/optics/minox.pl?page=minox_66470]Minox - Camera Land NY[/url] They have an open box BDC reticle, SFP....for $699.99. I have one of these scopes....and for the money, it has extremely clear, bright glass...edge to edge. It has very nice color resolution at high magnification....much better than other scopes in this price range....even my PST. Best of luck [/QUOTE]
