FFP vs….

[milo-2]

At max power, reticle might block out tiny targets.

Good photos - like!

This argument always surfaces, would you give an example of tiny and at what distances?
Bottle caps at 3-500?
I have an F1 Atacr 7-35 with a MOAR reticle, the moar being one of the bolder reticles. At 1K, a prairie dog or a soda can is more than visible on full power, as is a 2 inch dot. Around here, being able to hold directly on a tiny target and continually hit at distance is a small window.
I am going to shoot that scope today, and am pretty sure when I zero it, I will shoot 1 rd on target and that will be my aimpoint, I will see at what power the that dot becomes obscure.

SFP vs FFP
No Right or Wrong answer.

Boils down to intended use, personal preference, & scope features, operations, & utilization.

I prefer SFP for my hunting scopes. I prefer the reticle to remain constant in size & only the target/animal size to change with magnification. This provides a familiar & fast sight picture for me throughout the scopes magnification range.

I have developed a system for utilizing subtension adjustments on my NF 2nd focal plane optics & location of the power throw lever for follow up shots that is fast & accurate on the rare occasion I need to.

In conjunction with my rangefinder, I primarily dial for distance & hold for wind, & make corrections either by dialing or holding for correction without changing power setting.

Utilize what works for each individual, the required use & become familiar with the scopes features, & operations.
