[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1947310, member: 103303"] In my opinion, this is the best place on the net for shooting/reloading related discussion. Welcome! I have learned a lot here, and am happy to be able.to give back a little when I can. If I were in your position, I would return the 5-25 SFP for a 3-15 FFP. For me, that EBR reticle works pretty well in FFP, and that 3-15 is a really well designed scope - great FOV at any magnification. The biggest complaint, it seems, with FFP is guys who can't see the reticle at low power. I have found some FFP reticles are serviceable at 50yd in twilight at 3x, but not all of them. That vortex EBR reticle, especially with the illuminated chevron is pretty good in this regard. The main advantage of SFP is that reticles CAN be a little finer. This CAN help defining a more precise point of aim so SOME shooters, especially target and varmint shooters prefer that. Personally, I have found with FFP I tend to use lower magnification than I would with a SFP scope. Less magnification means bigger FOV, which makes it easier to spot my impacts, and I have a little better situational awareness. This can be helpful when hunting herd animals. I can tell you what works for me, but it's really up to you to decide; What kind of targets and at what distances will you be shooting? Cheers, and food luck in your decision [/QUOTE]
