[QUOTE="Grumulkin, post: 548258, member: 29281"] If you wish to be able to range at all magnifications, get a FFP (first focal plane) scope. If your use of the scope is to be for hunting, I don't see a lot of use for 22X on the top end. A 5.5-22X Nightforce scope is big, heavy and when you're getting ready to shoot you have to set the parallax. Add in the ranging and it takes a bit of time to get ready for a long range shot. A scope with 10X on the top end is plenty for 400 or 500 yard shots on deer. In fact, I have a 204 Ruger with a 2-7X Leupold scope I used to dispatch a crow at a bit over 300 yards. [/QUOTE]
