[QUOTE="Senderofan, post: 1037513, member: 13831"] I agree that laser range finders are the way to go. But having a back up, like a ranging reticle is nice to have. Example would be a sheep hunt....one of a life time. If that laser range finder should happen to fail...for what ever reason...what does a guy do? Other than hope someone else has a RF that works. Also....how do you know what amount of windage you're holding with a fine crosshair say at 800, 1,000 or 1,200 yards? I've done Kentucky windage for long range varmint hunting.....but if the shot needed to really count, like for the hunt of a lifetime, you'd want to be more certain than a guess. As I had stated in my earlier post.....FFP and ranging reticles have their place and always will. Laser etched reticles are more stable than battery powered devices. Guys need to prioritize scope features they need and go from there. Guess maybe I'm being "Captain Obvious" about FFP and such....Don't mean any disrespect for SFP or fine cross hair ( Have them on my BR rifles)....just that the FFP and reticles do have their place.
