[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 2317227, member: 95733"] Can NOT be said any better. for ME FFP simply will not work. I actually bought and tried out two quite pricy very high quality (for me) FFP rifle scopes and attached them to a rifle using a method that had no affect on the finish of the scope tube. Sent both mornings and evenings in low and fading light aiming at targets and very large photographic target pictures of deer and elk. Came away sure that FFP was just not for me. There is no good or bad in FFP VS SFP just what YOU like. Thankfully where I bought both scopes had an awesome return policy so I sufferer no loss or issues. To all who plan on trying out FFP scopes who have NEVER used one before I STRONGLY as possible advise buying from a seller who's return policy allows you to return the scope with little to no hassles. Better yet go to a major store like Cabela's and if they will allow it try out different FFP scope reticles at minimum power and max power to see if they will work for your application. For MY application my hunting scopes even my long range hunting specific scopes are all less than 16x so for longer shots beyond 400 yards I will always set the scope to max power so SFP's affect on the reticle sub tension values will not be an issue.
