[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 1086825, member: 48559"] Didn't all the technology we use for modern hunting originate in military use? I prefer FFP now that I've used both, but that doesn't make SFP useless, anymore than my bolt-action repeater makes a flintlock muzzle-loader useless. That used to be an "assault" weapon back around 1776... Use what you like. Some FFP's are better thought out than others, and one of the negatives frequently cited is "can't see the reticle detail at low mag, but it covers too much target at high mag". The scope I like best (within MY budget) is Vortex Viper HSLR FFP, MOA version. At max mag the center of the reticle is a dot subtending 0.45 MOA, which doesn't cover anything I am going to shoot at, and for closer shots at 4x I don't need the details, so not seeing them doesn't cause any difficulty and the main beams of the reticle are quite prominent and serve very well. Again, use what you like. [/QUOTE]
