[QUOTE="shooter7, post: 2067718, member: 39303"] Even for some of us in the mountain west FFP isnt the holy grail of scope features. In order for a FFP scope to be a good hunting scope it needs to have illumination. I've killed more elk and deer inside 60 yards in the timber than I have at 500 yards. Using FFP that isnt illuminated when you chase elk into the timber sucks. And scopes that usually are FFP and illuminated are typically heavy. I would much rather have a SFP scope in those conditions. Maybe its cause I'm not a good long range hunter and I go find the elk and deer where they hide. I don't just sit in a hillside waiting for one to step out and make a long shot. I also dial long shots so reticle holdovers don't mean much to me. [/QUOTE]
