[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 2054034, member: 31749"] Meant to add... FFP is also perfect for something light and fast like an LPVO mounted on a carbine. My Trijicon Accupower 1-8 has a decent enough reticle to shoot holdovers out to 500yds+ on 8x and when you dial it back to 1x the outer ring of the reticle forms an eotech style donut with a dot in the middle for close in shooting. SFP optics on an LPVO force you to chose between a good reticle for heads up shooting on 1x thats too fine for shooting at long range, or mediocre BDC thats adequate for longer range but way too cluttered when you dial back to 1x for something close in. I like to have my cake and eat it too! Only guns I own that have SFP reticles are when they are a simple duplex reticle paired with something like a CDS or other custom ballistic turret... I've never understood the people who get FFP style reticles (ie. christmas tree/mil dot/tactical etc) on a SFP optic, you are just asking to make mistakes there. [/QUOTE]
