[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1729542, member: 10291"] I use FFP scopes for PRS. My primary go-to’s are the S&B PMII and the Nightforce ATACR F1, both in 5x25x56, MIL based which weigh about 1-1.5 pounds more then my preferred weigh and 10-15% larger in size then I prefer in my hunting scopes. Were it not for the weight and bulk, I would have no issue using either of these scopes FFP’s for LRH over my preferred SFP scopes. With these PRS scopes, the optical quality, reliability, tracking, and usability of the reticle substensions/illumination across the magnification range is outstanding, and I have at times considered “eating” the added weight and bulk to take advantage of the capability and performance of these scopes for LRH. These scopes get subjected to more operational use in a couple of matches then most of my hunting scopes get in a full season, and continue to perform to perfection. IMO, their overall performance doesn’t appear to be equaled by the lighter/smaller/lower cost FFP alternatives I’ve tried or handled. That’s why I’m particularly interested in hearing the inputs on the various scopes discussed in this thread, Perhaps I’m just spoiled by my high end FFP scopes. I will be anxious to have a look at the 20X(max), Nightforce F8. [/QUOTE]
