[QUOTE="PNWdude67, post: 2312630, member: 110615"] The FFP reticle is just as useful at lowest power as a classic SSP duplex reticle if it’s designed with that in mind. You do not need to see the .2 hash marks at low power for a center hold shot out to even 300 yards. They appear, as you stated to be a thick line which has a nice center space of .5 mil which is about 1.75 inches at 100 yards, meaning your hold area is .75 MOA radius. So, yeah who cares if the has marks aren’t useful at low power? They are not intended to be. The benefit of the FFP is having a consistent hold over and wind hold from about 8~ the highest power setting …. When using reticle marks on the SSP you must know their value for the power your shooting at. The SSP user then says, “I just leave it on the highest power” 😂😂🤷🏻♂️. Ok so,first, why are you concerned with using an FFP on low power and second you are negating there advantage of having a variable power scope to allow you to quickly acquire a target sight picture and zoom in as you settle in to engage. Reticles have advanced tremendously as well. [/QUOTE]
