[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1511724, member: 85987"] Hope this clears this up. I'd highly recommend a FFP to a new shooter. I feel this is the best way to start at distance shooting. You don't have to remember offsets or different holds for different powers when you get mirage and need to turn down the power. I started shooting a fixed power for long distance. To me it is still the best way for a new shooter. They think they need the versatility I don't see it until you have a comprehensive understanding of wind mirage and ballistics. A 6 or 10x will shoot as far as needed with average eyesight. I shoot to 700yds on 4x every trip. You give up seeing trace in less than optimum conditions however you get better on target concentration imho. [/QUOTE]
