Well over half the animals that I have killed with the 3-9x SWFA using the reticle for wind or elevation has been on less than 9x.
most rifles shoot without hold over to 250-300 yards. Also at that distance your not going to be needing to do any hold off for wind either most likely . If I am shooting beyond that distance I am jacking the scope to max power instantly, 9x isn't too much power, I routinely max out my NXS compact on 10x to make shots at 300 and beyond. I am simply not taking shots at 4, 5 6x or whatever x besides max if I feel I need more power. shoot however you want, I am just saying I would rather a low power scope like that be second focal plane. if you want it first, to that I say fine. I don't need anyone elses approval. its still a good scope either way and I may buy one anyways.
