This is scope designed for low power high fov quick shooting. The ffp is going to suck at 2.5x. And a 10x isn’t really enough power for over 300 where you even need reticle ticks. Verdict = fail
Please explain in detail how a feature you don't like but many others want is a fail?
If you had even briefly looked at the MK 4 HD product line you would have seen there is a 2.5-10 with SFP reticle.
I prefer 2ndFP but others don't. To be fair I don't have any interest in any of the announced MK 4HD offerings but Leupold is damn sure going to sell a shit load to shooters who like FFP at those prices.
you of all people know ffp is a fail for that scope. Will people buy it. Yeah. But most people don’t shoot much or only at a gun range. You know this.

I have killed shit really close with iron sights on a revolver, that does not mean a proper 2ndFP scope won't work better.
1stFP is a compromise at low power. Sure it can work but it's still a compromise.
Leupold is smart enough to offer both reticle placements in the 2.5-10 and the 2ndFP is a better choice but the FFP is hardly a fail.
I hunted most of this year with a 2nd FP as I stole my daughter's rifle for most of my deer hunting. Didn't slow me down any.
