[QUOTE="Bud H, post: 2968641, member: 128112"] I prefer sfp, I have a ffp that was great on the range, but really sucked in the timber that I mostly hunt. I'll probably end up putting it on pivot mounts on a 300 savage, or a 25-06 for antelope and coyotes for open ground. Being in NW MONTANA, we get a combination of really dark thick timber, or open long shots. Like stated above, a illuminating reticle would solve the issue, but this scope doesn't have that. It's a Heters with a range finding and bullet drop reticle, made.in 1968. I like period scopes on my period guns. And yes, I also have weavers, unertel and even a mossburg. As limiting on their light gathering as they are, they are still good for their intended purpose. A K2.5 with a post reticle is great for close dark timber. I recently found a outfit that will rebuild them with modern coated glass also, but haven't sent any off to have that done yet. [/QUOTE]
