[QUOTE="JTH, post: 2426518, member: 59647"] If you want the option of using a ballistic reticle for holdovers, FFP is the only way to go in my opinion. In the heat of the moment it’s too easy to have a SFP at the wrong magnification, resulting in the ballistic reticle being significantly off. The reticle does get small at low magnification, but I don’t usually shoot at lower than 7 or 8x, which has the reticle plenty bold for my old eyes. My reticles are illuminated, wouldn’t have it any other way for early and late. I think any scope, ffp or sfp, can struggle with crosshairs fading away in the first and last 5 minutes of daylight. The best illuminated reticles have adjustments to dial the brightness up or down so its not so bright that it blows out your natural low light vision at dusk or dawn, or you can crank it up during full daylight and still be visible.
