[QUOTE="Deleted member 115360, post: 2067650"] I don't own an axis, because I have a good hammer for banging in tent stakes, which is the best purpose an axis can serve, (I really don't mean that. If that's all someone can afford I'd rather they were out there hunting than sitting at home). Sfp optics don't pull in light any better than an ffp, they just might help you see the reticle better in low light if you made a bad reticle choice for hunting, or have bad eyes, but what an sfp optic will do is make you miss animals. Sure, you might remember to turn it to max power, or 2/3 power, or maybe it's 3/4 power, and maybe there is a mark there to remind you, or maybe there isn't. I hope you can remember which it is when the trophy of a lifetime pushes your pulse through the roof. I only own one sfp optic, and it is a NF SHV 5-20×56mm, and I bought it without even checking because I stupidly assumed it was ffp. I'm sure most of you own a safe full of optics, and I regularly carry 3 or even 4 different rifles into the woods this time of year, and I don't even want to have to think about what the proper magnification is supposed to be when I need to dial.
