[QUOTE="teesquare, post: 1263238, member: 56740"] [B]I can agree with most of what Barrelnut says...with ONE critical exception. And that is the point of impact on SFP scopes. You must verify at what magnification the reticle is "accurate". Most manufacturers ( Vortex in specific here...) set up their SFP reticles for MAXIMUM magnification. Not as much of a problem if you are shooting at a long distance target or critter...but, how many of us actually use their scope at full magnification as a practice? Steel plinker...sure. But it has caused me to shift my perspective to the FFP scopes in recent years. Why? Because I can dial up mag. to see in detail what I need, and shoot if needed - without disruption of my aim-point. I never use the full mag on a scope for anything other than a substitute for a spotter, or bins. A quick look - then dial back to where I need the reticle size and mag. to be. Either will work - and it is a matter of preference. But - you really should allow time to use both before deciding. In good conscience, I would not advise anyone if I had not used both extensively.[/B] [/QUOTE]
