FFP VS 2nd FP scope

[Clem Bronkoski]

I envy you FFP folks who are savvy with math. Like Greyfox. Wish I could do it. Tried. Also tried to find a local mentor. Unsuccessful. A $ costly misadventure. As my "hunting" is typically inside 400 yards, I just set my MOA scope 3.5" high @ 100. Good to go!

GO EAGLES!!

Why? (a couple times). First why would you set your MOA scope 3.5" high @ 100 when all you need to do is add some clicks to shoot 400 yds and beyond? You might as well just use a standard scope without MOA indicators on the turret. And if your scope has stadia bars or dots in MOA increments you can just use them!
Second why - Why Eagles...Go Chiefs....3peat!!!!!!!!!!

Yes. FFP is simply better. Reticle design could and should be better to help low power visibility, but that "drawback" is largely overblown by those that

1. Don't need FFP--either because they don't hold wind, or because they NEVER shoot over 300 yards or
2. Have never used a FFP scope

If there is a drawback to FFP it is the typical scope's elevation and windage clicks move the POI at 100 yds .36". I often have a scope that will not center on the target. Oh, it is close but if I move one click then it puts the POI on the other side of center. MOA is a bit more precise with .25" per click.

I realize this is not a big deal especially if the FFP scope is used for hunting. I often say it is a good thing our big game animals have large bodies.

You have just confused the crap out of me! What does a FFP scope have to do with MOA adjustment. MOA adjustment is normally 1/4" per click whether its FFP or SFP.

I believe he is confusing FFP/SFP with MIL/MOA adjustments. 1/10 of a MIL is 0.36" Most FFP plane scopes have MIL adjustments although you could do MOA.
