Well, I appreciate that sir. It's pretty obvious that folks here haven't actually used FFP scopes, at least on paper or used them to guesstimate holdover. I used to think the exact same thing as many here are saying when they say the reticle gets larger or smaller as you monkey with the power settings. Perhaps we're all just mis-stating what we're really trying to say, myself included. To me, it makes very little sense to have a mil (or any other type ranging reticle) in a variable power SFP scope as the hash values are only true at one power setting, usually the highest setting. Sure, you can do the math on the fly if you have very cooperative live targets, but I don't seem to have many deer in my hunting areas that are willing to stand there while I run the numbers through a ballistic program app on my cell phone. It's rare, at least where I've hunted whitetails, that they just stand there while I finger [bleep] a cell phone.
