[QUOTE="Ckleeves, post: 2409093, member: 83259"] Take a poll but I seriously doubt many FFP users are ranging frequently or at all with the reticle. There just isn’t a need to with a rangefinder. The measuring tape is pretty handy for lots of things. Wind it’s real helpful. nobody, no matter how good they think they are knows what 42” looks like at 700 yards on a unknown sized target. Even known it’s tough to hold 3.5 target widths accurately. It’s pretty easy to hold 1.7 mil at any power. Spotting misses it’s a whole lot more accurate to tell your buddy he missed the prairie dog by exactly .8 rather then “about 4 prairie dogs low” When the mirage is rolling and you can’t even see at 25x so your stuck down around 14x. You have probably heard it before but with ffp your speedometer reads right in every gear. A few years ago I wasn’t crazy about FFP because I hadn’t been trying the right reticles. I still have some sfp scopes, I don’t see the need for FFp on a 3-12x for example. So I’m not a sfp hater I just see the advantages FFP can provide especially in the higher power ranges. A SFP 5-25 is a perfect example. Your more then likely going to be spending quite a bit of time in the 16x-20x range so unless your a math wiz the subtensions are all but worthless when time counts.
