[QUOTE="gusd, post: 1274952, member: 90071"] The FFP reticle will cover more target at 1000. I believe that is why my Steiner had such a thin reticle so at longer ranges it worked great. From what I understand about FFP and I may be wrong so if I am please correct me . In order to use it for accurate ranging of unknown distances you would need to know the EXACT size of the target. Which it is common to know exact size of targets but on animals and landmarks that would be relevant while hunting I don't know how one would determine exact sizes. I can see the FFP with one of those fancy reticles being real nice for target shooting where you can spot your hits have a target of known size and want to use your reticle for adjusting for a quick follow up shot. As for lighted reticle it didn't help much at low power with my Steiner not to mention you gotta turn it on to use it which I never remembered to do while hunting when a quick shot presented itself. One other thing is that SFP scopes usually have a magnification setting"typically highest power" where the reticle would work just like a FFP. [/QUOTE]
