[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 629976, member: 23486"] I have owned (or still do) both types. My first MK4 was exactly as described above. 8.5-25x50 LR/T M1 w/TMR reticle, dial in MOA, hold wind in Mils... irritating... but doable. I traded that scope for a MOA/MOA NightForce... anywho, my current MK4 is a 6.5-20x50 ER/T MK4 M5-A, 34mm main tube with auto-locking elevation turret. This is a FFP scope, TMR Reticle & M5 .10mil adjustments. I have NO intention of parting with this beast... In your situation, do you intend to use the reticle for UKD (unknown distance) measurements? Or intend to learn how? If not, I think the SFP is just fine & not really worth the extra expense, just crank it to the designated power & fire when ready. Or if you always dial for both wind & elev, then it's also a moot point. The real advantages of the FFP's are (IMHO) the ability to use holdovers at and power setting & the ability to better use the reticle for ranging measurements. [/QUOTE]
