[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1756636, member: 85987"] What's your budget? There are options at every price point in either sfp and ffp in the lower price points and some in the lower 2k price point but not many. If you want the brightest hunting scope made the T96 fro S&B comes in either ffp or sfp Lightweight LEO Ziess Swaro all have sub 24oz products. A 40's objective is lighter but you lose resolution all things being equal to a larger obj lense. Might not see a horn or the correct animal at distance with light fading or in a shadow at distance. March is another that offers a 42mm and larger lighter scopes with 8 or 10x erectors depending on ffp or sfp. If it's a sitting up rifle a ffp will have no impact shift throughout the magnification range if you have to shoot at a different mag setting from sight in. A sfp will have shift due to the magnifier lense being in front of the reticle. Might be as small as 1/4 moa from bottom to top might be alot more depending on the the amount of mag change and tolerance of the product. It needs to be shot and recorded. In my nighforce it is 1/4 up and 1moa left from 3 to 15 and the same from 4.5 to 14 on the other rifle. It's consistent and repeatable [/QUOTE]
