[QUOTE="Okanogan, post: 2408182, member: 90397"] I've got probably 80% of my rifles set up with FFP high power scopes, mostly NF and Vortex. I do most of my hunting shots sitting on my butt using a tripod. A close shot is typically 200 yds and I have plenty of time to crank the power up high. The FFP work great for this even at first light, though if it is really marginal light, I might use illuminated reticle. For wide open eastern WA habitat, it has been good set up. Where I find a problem with FFP is on the lower power settings in poor light. I'm over 60 and have a hard time quickly picking out the fine reticle in these conditions. I'm in the process of moving to MT and the area I will live is heavy timber. I wish I had more SFP high end scopes for use in those conditions. I suspect you can make a high quality scope work with either SFP or FFP if you practice with them. If I were making the choice on the type for a new scope, I would be making it based on what type of hunting experiences I expected. Your comments about ranging, holding using the reticle, etc sound similar to my own practices. [/QUOTE]
