[QUOTE="Troutslayer2, post: 2435654, member: 25190"] This season I hunted more dark timber than normal. I have been using FFP for the last several seasons. I just bought a 2nd FP for what I really consider my do it all rifle. It’s not the one I’ll take when I think I might have to shoot past 500 YDS but it’s the most versatile of the bunch. The way I see it those long opportunities usually aren’t snap shots. There is time to do something like put the scope on the right power to get the hash marks to equate, or even to dial the scope to the correction, which is something I always do for elevation anyway. I wanted a reticle that didn’t diminish to nothing at lowest power to faster acquire an elk at 50-100 YDS in the woods. Though I have not ever seen data on this- I now have two very similar scopes, one in FFP and one in 2FP and I swear that optically the second FP scope is better. I don’t know if there is any science to support what I think I am seeing, and they are not truly apples to apples models but both clarity and parallax are better in 2nd FP. [/QUOTE]
