[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 618231, member: 10832"] My reasoning is probably very similar to your reasoning for not using the very highest powers on some of your scopes even though it gives you the biggest target picture. You still drop down a bit to eliminate mirage or gain a brighter picture,etc. Same for me. I like the benefit of using the reticle and there is too much chance for error to use it with an SFP scope IMO. So I compromise to the extent that gets me most of what I want while giving up the least amount. For me that is a good FFP with a graduated reticle that I can use for close range shots which also has a center cross that can still be used for the real LR stuff when I would dial in and hold dead on. To argue that using FFP on big game vs varmints as the same is curious to me. Look at the reticle pictures I posted. The FFP reticle doesn't cover an inch on the target, so maybe that is 5-10% of the vitals of a big game animal. That same reticle could cover 50% or more of the vitals on a ground squirrel. To me centering the reticle on those two examples are very different things. Scot E. [/QUOTE]
