You need a first focal plane scope for hunting? Inquiring minds thing, has me questioning your choice. For hunting, I'd choose a FFII 3-9X40 with the ballistic plex reticle. Every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Not just because they are priced right, but because they absolutely work!!!

Maybe explain your criteria for wanting a first focal plane scope on your sons hunting rifle. Distances you plan on shooting, both near and far. Never hunted Tennesse, so I'm just wondering. I know in the dark timber where I hunt elk, I like the ability to turn the power down and still be able to see the reticle very boldly and clearly. You are not going to get that on a first focal plane scope like the one you are asking about.

For playing around/goofing around on steel targets way out there, and on max power, like exchippy shows pics of, the first focal plane scope will work just fine. But on a hunting rifle, not so much.
