Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics the reason FFP Sucks for hunting scopes

I'm no expert either, I've used both SFP and FFP. I've hunted dark timber in foggy/cloudy pacific NW weather enough to know that SFP works better for me. If I'm on the lowest power, I'm in the timber and need a BOLD THICK reticle. If I'm on the highest power, I'm taking a shot that's long enough that i want a thin reticle for precise aiming. A FFP reticle does just the opposite.

I've actually settled on a Swaro Z6i 2-12 with their #4 with the little red dot for my main elk rifle. Its just about perfect.

I do like FFP for tactical shooting. I have a FFP Steiner 4-16 on my LR260 that I compete with and its excellent. Its a heavy SOB though.
