[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1098198, member: 13632"] I shoot hold overs all the time on the bottom power, I always pack on the lowest power and kinda prefer more field of view but then I know what my reticle substentions are on what ever power I'm at so I don't have to turn up the power to use my reticle for hold overs. I'm thinking using SFP is so easy even a cave man can do it... I've ran a number of Vortex and NF FFP and SFP for different reasons, I like the FFP when I'm putting together a rifle that will be used mid range, little timber or the operator is not as experienced so I use the FFP to eliminate the reticle being anything other than what it is. I hunt both timber and at long range with the same optic so I don't want the aim point to ever change size, when I look through the scope I want to see the same cross hair on 4x as 14x. With SFP I have a good, solid aim point on low power and I have a precision aim point at high power not a thick bar distracting from that precise point I'm putting a bullet. If I look down to change the power I know what the reticle value will be, I've used this to just dial the reticle back and double the value for a more precise aim point. Personally FFP was a disaster in the field hunting even though I do run both at times I won't hunt with FFP again! I just started playing with a NF SHV 3-10x42 with MOAR reticle and what an awesome little optic, very surprised by it! [/QUOTE]
