I bought two of these scopes this fall thinking they would be the end all be all for a hunting scope. I realized I do not like FFP scopes that go to 3 power. The reticle is useless below 5 power for me. I shot a buck at about 150 yards through thick timber and had to put the scope on 6 power to see the center of the reticle. A follow up shot would have been very difficult (if needed) due to lack of field of view.
I will be selling both of the scopes and go back to SFP for hunting. If I am shooting far enough to hold for wind I will be on the highest power anyway so I don't need FFP. For close shots and shots at dawn and dusk I will have a nice thick reticle on whatever power I choose.
Everyone has an opinion and knows what they like. I like SFP for hunting and a power range of 3-12 or 4-16 for big game.
The men who designed this scope certainly know what they are doing and should get respect for their accomplishments, this scope just doesn't work for me and I have used it.
