SFP disadvantage?

[desertbull]

Are SFP scopes really a disadvantage if you are not using your scope to range?

I know.....use the search and read all of the many discussions on SFP vs FFP.

I have read many of the threads on this forum and others, but they usually focus on scope ranging and how much easier it is with a FFP scope.

I have a good range finder. I don't need to range with the reticle.

I found a good deal on a Vortex PST SFP scope but don't want to spend the $$$ if it is going to be a big head ache.

Well, I have no use for the FFP. But you will hear otherwise from others. I only hunt with SFP's and the freezer is full.

For me it's no headache at all. The vortex scopes are great

I don't like being hobbled by ffp optics, sfp gives me more flexibility across the board!!

Just different is all. I like both. Nice thing about a 2nd is the sight it in on low power near the center crosshair and then have it on for LR at high power. Also Im not a big fan of the reticle disappearing on FFPs but if the power is halfway you still hit which is nice. Either one will work like a champ if you set it up and use it properly.

I use both for rangefinding and downrange zeroing and really have no preference.

The multiplication factor is written on the opposite side of the magnification on the pst series SPF scopes....... So I don't see any disadvantage.
