[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 527007, member: 319"] Yes, how much elevation you can use from the reticle of a high powered scope is limited by its FOV--FFP or SFP has nothing to do with it. I have found the PST's have slightly less FOV than advertised, my 6-24 PST having around 4.3' at 100 YDs on 24X. This gives around 7 mils (~24 MOA) of reticle, depending upon how much elevation you have cranked in (the reticle won't be perfectly centered). That will be the same for FFP or SFP. Of course, the [B]HUGE[/B] advantage of the FFP in this instance is that if 24 MOA is not enough, all you do is turn the power down a bit to make more reticle appear and it will still be perfectly calibrated no matter what power you end up with.
