[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1302298, member: 13632"] I like the everyone has preferences and different needs but here's why my preference should be yours posts!! To explain, I probably recommended more FFP optics for customers this year and trained some with them than I did SFP so I do understand there strengths but I'm also realistic about there weak points and simply want to use the best optic for each situation. In my area a guy will often hunt timber this is not jump shooting where a FFP optic at low power CQB mode excels, it's close range precision shooting, more than likely I'm threading a bullet through cover to a precise target and I need clearly defined aim points which I find SFP excels for. We will often work through the timber into areas that long range is the game, again I'm looking for a precise and much slower shot process and done with power cranked, again I find FFP just not as useful for me, the cross hair is much to thick on 90% of the FFP optics I see for what works well for me, my substentions will be accurate since that is where I crank to for long range. I HATE the reticle looking different at every power, for me that is way more distraction than having the substentions change, when I pull up I want the same reticle every time. If I'm setting up a gun for mid range, mid power shooting and holding off a lot FFP is my go to because that kind of shooting is where it excels, if a guy want to shoot a lot of diverse stuff, lots of steel and some long range and some hunting I'll probably go FFP. Point is I want to use the best not settling and for some it's FFP and others it's SFP. [/QUOTE]
