[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1097914, member: 74902"] CleanShot, I think we are learning from you at this point. :) I don't read everything on this forum, but you are the first I have seen with a Sightron FFP scope. Your learning pain with this scope will hopefully benefit some else before they take your path with this scope. So Thanks. This is a long range forum and seems always slanted that way. If you read a lot of scope posts here, I think you will find that (most) strictly long range shooters prefer a SFP scope. The shooters who favor a carry or mid-range rifles that are also used for long range use FFP scopes. Just guessing, since you hail from NJ you would be in the latter group. You would probably enjoy about any other FFP scope besides this Sightron FFP scope. From what I see, the most popular ones are Vortex and Burris and maybe SWAF. Nightforce only has them in the newer high end scopes. I don't think those support tips from Sightron will help at all. Seems more like they were teaching you how to focus the reticle to you eye than anything. That will give you a crisp reticle but won't stop it from going away, if it is too thin. I think you should trust your intuition here. I would go to a box store and look at a Vortex PST FFP scope, If you like what you see, return the Sightron. [/QUOTE]
