[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 2842049, member: 42494"] Here's your options: 1) SFP a) is cheaper, b) Reticle thickness doesn't change while zooming c) Christmas tree reticle holdovers are not accurate during zooming except at 1 magnification. d) If you dial and not use holdover, accurate tree reticle doesn't matter e) zero at 3" high at 100 yds. Gives your 3006 3" high at 100, 200, 300yds and 16" low at 400 and 25" low at 450 yds. Then start dialing. 2) FFP: a) usually more expensive b) reticle thinner at low magnification and gets thicker while zooming (illumination solves thinness at low magnification) c) tree reticle has accurate holdovers at all zoom magnifications d) tree reticle holdover is faster than dialing for range (use a precalculated range card in your flip up scope cap.) Scope magnification depends on your hunting environment. a) Stalking and jumping deer at 25- 50 yards requires low magnification. b) Sitting in a stand, magnification is not critical c) long range mountain shooting, more magnification is required. So, you decide what fits you the best. We can't tell you what to use since we don't hunt in your shoes. [/QUOTE]
