[QUOTE="Tesoro, post: 1281890, member: 44340"] Also me thinks you need to determine first whether you want a ffp or sfp scope. On your list only the viper is ffp. I prefer ffp and the list narrows fast and I dont think you are going to get much in the 1 grand range for a ffp. I havent found one that I like. I have new a viper pst 6-24 gen1 that I am still tossing around to keep or not..its 'cheap' for a ffp but waiting for a clear day to see if the mist at high power was really magnified mist or just the optics! You should look at what kind of shooting you will be doing vs ffp/sfp. With a sfp plan on dialing in each shot or being forced to shoot at high mag to be able to use your reticle for holdover. Thats the sfp way. The ffp way gives you the ability to use your reticle for precise holdover at any mag and also dial it in if you wish just like with a sfp. The new era scopes have pretty fine and even crosshairs when on high magnification with a ffp so I dont think that under most circumstances the subtension is going to be an issue by covering your target. It seems like the ffp is a better pick for all around hunting/shooting. You can read on this subject till your mind spins but thats how I understand it. There is no debate that the europeans make the best optics and I believe all their high end hunting scopes are ffp. I have a swaro x5i and its tits in every way but its also 3 grand :( A friend just got a nf shv and its a perfect scope for what its designed for. If it were ffp I would buy more than one for my ar's! I also noticed that the new high end stuff coming out from NF is ffp. Gotta tell you something! Hopefully you will find the scope that fits your needs that has the reticle you like! ha The more you learn about scopes the harder the choice! [/QUOTE]
