[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2842461, member: 1951"] The use case for FFP is simple. The game is at 400-600 yds and on their feet. Time is of the essence. You zoom in to see your animal and confirm angle, size, etc, but then zoom out so you can see enough field of view to see what happens in recoil. You hold elev & wind using the reticle. Boom. Flop or boom, walk. You can see what happens. With SFP, you cannot zoom out to see after the shot and use the reticle. To make this work, you need a reticle with thick and easily seen outer bars. Illumination helps. This is so you can take that 50yd shot on 4x when a buck just stands up. It is all about work arounds and struggles. To me, FFP has fewer. If shot both in the field. Maybe you should buy whatever your good short range SFP is as a base line, the step up to a 3-15x or 5-25x Viper PST Gen2 as a starting FFP scope, then jump to Tract, NF, etc. I did and learned a lot. Oddly, I save some money this way. [/QUOTE]
