[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1177594, member: 90399"] 1. I think plenty of people are using FFP scopes for long range hunting on full sized animals. The original question was in regards to varmint hunting. FFP scopes are less common for long range varmint hunting because the reticle gets thick at higher powers and can actually cover the small varmints. Although Feenix mentioned a FFP scope that was for varmint hunting. I would be interested in looking at the reticle. 2. Your POI should not change with magnification changes with either kind of scope. Are you talking about parallax? There are benefits to both FFP and SFP scopes. You can learn to use either successfully. If youre using a laser rangefinder and dialing elevation and wind, you dont need any subtensions on a reticle. Standard cross hair will do. Then the FFP/SFP conversation becomes meaningless. Many guys hold off for wind instead of dialing their turrets. If those guys want to be able to do that at any magnification, then they will need a FFP scope. A bigger consideration is to get a scope that has matching reticle and turrets. Either Mil/Mil or Moa/Moa. Mil/Mil is my choice; others may disagree. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
