[QUOTE="Tesoro, post: 1422471, member: 44340"] When it comes to quality firearms and optics you really do get what you pay for. I only have one 'really good' all around rifle and I sold a bunch of run of the mill shooters in my safe to get a brand new X5i 3.5x18. I can argue with the best of them that this is THE scope to have on your all around hunting rifle if you are into optics and hunt in the west. Most of us on this forum have pretty flat shooting cartridges so the ffp vs sfp is kinda mute in normal hunting scenarios on deer sized game. I have found that if shooting long range then I have the time to crank to 18x and then I am the same as ffp but with a much better x-hair to game size ratio. I think alot of people make the mistake of buying the 5-25 for LR hunting when they should have tried on the 3.5-18. If one cant afford new then there are some good deals that can be had on used. I picked up a second x5i on this forum that was brand new for 2 grand. Saved 800 bucks. [/QUOTE]
