[QUOTE="7.62 Gunner, post: 3012191, member: 121641"] For lower magnification like a 4-16 or less SFP makes the most sense, if you're shooting long its easy to go max zoom at moderate ranges around 400-800 yards without having a tiny FOV. Scopes with higher magnification over 16-18x are terrible in SFP if used to their actual potential. Most hunters are way over powered with 25- 30x optics when they only take shots inside 500-900 yards 99% of the time. If using your reticle as intended at max power you end up with a limited FOV, mirage issues, or distortion from low light. I think the real conversation here should be matching your magnification range to your actual shooting scenario. If you're hunting timber to 400 yards get a SFP 2-10× If you hunt timber to 800 yards go 4-16 SFP or FFP. If you truly hunt open country and use your reticle for fast engagements at all ranges go with an optic that has 20 plus upper magnification in FFP. [/QUOTE]
