[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 2054196, member: 31749"] Yes, some of the grid gets lost when you zoom in n an FFP scope, but my point is that if you have two scopes identical in every single way except for one is SFP and one is FFP. The EXACT same amount of the grid would be visible on both. If Vortex made an SFP version of my Razor AMG the SFP reticle would have the same 8 mils of holdovers visible as my FFP version does... its just that simple. The examples both of you are using are not an issue of FFP vs SFP when comparing apples to apples. A scope with a wider field of view will have more of the reticle grid visible than one with a narrower field of view. Again, this is completely independent of the reticle focal plane either scope has. You can dial your SFP optic off to half power and then multiply the subtensions by 2x... or with an FFP optic you just have 2x as many lines visible; same end use though. The big plus of an SFP optic is that you can have a very fine/precise aiming point that doesnt obscure the target at long range/high magnification, and you can get a scope with high quality glass/tracking for less money than an FFP version of comparable quality.
