[QUOTE="Senderofan, post: 1037330, member: 13831"] But the main advantage....if one desires it.....is the ability to range objects at unknown distances at any magnification and also have accurate holdovers and elevation at any mag. That's a couple of the major selling points of FFP.....also, sub tensions in the reticle are always matched to the turret adjustments. it's sometimes nice to have this range finding capability available.....even if one uses a laser rangefinder....since they can fail from time to time. A fine cross hair reticle does not give any reference to measure...perhaps a reticle with a 1/8th moa dot could be used...but would not be very easy. Different scope features for different folks.....one needs to decide what best serves their needs. I have five FFP scopes and probably five or six SFP scopes. My hunting rigs have the FFP scopes on them. Two are Premier Heritage 5-25x.....these are by far my favorite scopes....very similar to S&B. Top tier scopes tend to cost more due to components used and machining tolerances. They tend to be better at repeatability and tend to be more robust. Some may argue that above $2500...the average shooter has diminishing returns on investment. This may be very true....I've purchased my top tier scopes used.....so I've not had to pay full retail. I would submit that you check out the new Vortex Razor Gen II 4.5-27X if you are seriously considering FFP. This new scope is hitting the street at @ $2499 and represents an extremely strong price for top tier scopes. [/QUOTE]
