[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 1951486, member: 113623"] I don't know what reticles Leupold offers, but just because you get a FFP does not mean that you HAVE to dial. Plenty of "hold over" aka "Christmas Tree" style reticles let you do exactly that, you just need to know the dope for your particular load. They also make it very easy to correct a miss, while still holding, because you can readily measure where the hit was due to the subtensions and wind holds on the reticle itself. The only drawback I would be able to comment on with FFP is that you are going to have a finer reticle/aiming point on lower magnification than you would with SFP. As far as alternatives, the most popular options in that same-ish price range would probably be Nightforce or Vortex. [/QUOTE]
