[QUOTE="cummins cowboy, post: 1097754, member: 28348"] your finding out what the wizards of tactical don't tell you because they do their ninja shooting at the range off a bench in broad day light. FFP has no place in a hunting optic, it should be reserved for scopes of only very high power. IE the lowest power setting 6x or 8x. which basically means not suitable as a hunting optic. a reticle that subtends the same regardless of power, I mean after all who wouldn't want that. The problem is there is a big downside to that. You found it they suck in low light and what good are all these sub-tensions that are the same size if they wash out anyways at low power? The only way FFP makes sense to me is if you routinely come off max power to make distance shots, maybe for mirage or some other reason. but for nearly all situations your going to be on max power anyways if your needing the fancy marks on the reticle.
