Over the years I've had two pictures of my DIY dead critters show up on outfitter's websites, plus one more taken by an individual on this site and posted as his....always good for a laugh.
I wouldn't be surprised if Qwerk pulls that kind of stunt.....something about a pot and a kettle comes to mind.
Ted, I just read this....Who swiped your horns? That’s absolutely ridiculous! If you don’t want to say, that’s cool. Maybe post the old thread. I’m just SMH thinking what kind of ass-tool a guy has to be, to claim someone else’s bone as his....L-O-S-E-R 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏽♀️😎 PM sent.

Ya I like John burns actually, he’s one guy I’d like to bullshiit someday He can come off as an ass, but when conversing with him like SLM and I did above, his responses are perfectly courteous. I've never had an issue at least.

John,You are wrong. A sfp scope will have A different poi at different powers when you dial. Same with wind. Come on! You know that. That is the reason people shooting distance shoot ffp scopes. I don't care what you like, or what you shoot, but you can't change facts just because you don't like ffp scopes.
Care to keep guessing again? John, I think he's talking about dialing the magnification ring, not the ele. turret.

Are you sure about that, Jordan?

Yep. I'll add leading trotters to the "hold for wind" equation. Multiple targets at varying distances from 50 out to 350-400 or so, my hand tends to go towards the mag ring, rather than towards a turret. I tend to balance FOV vs ease of viewing mil dot spacing. Even so, my current .308 load allows holding via mildots to 700ish with the humble Gen-1 mil reticle it sports. "engage multiple targets with one shot each, where each target is at a different distance and there is a large margin for elevation error."......... "and even then I'll often dial in some elevation just to get my holds near an even hash mark, if necessary." .... "Other than these very specific cases, dial elevation and hold wind."....

Are you sure about that, Jordan? The ability to dial has zero bearing on SFP or FFP. He is talking BS
I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

The last thing I want to do is go pound some posts in for a new hitching rail in my corrals, so here I sit drinking coffee and scratching my head trying to decipher atse's "dialing" point. I most certainly did NOT read his post in that he was talking about "dialing" the magnification ring.

No.
There's a 6 pack and can of Cope in it for you if you take care of it instead.

I will try to clarify a couple points. My comment on dialing a sfp scope was a sarcastic remark in regards to one of John's earlier posts. It was not meant literally. Second, I used a poor choice when I said dialing magnification. Should have said changing magnification and dialing elevation. I simply meant through all of this that a ffp scope can have its magnification turned to any power and elevation dialed and shots on target will be the same. With a sfp scope, this is not the case. Sorry for the poor word choice. Hope that helps.

Sorry for the poor word choice. Hope that helps. While I appreciate the clarification, I must say that this is still a head scratcher. Are you saying that with a SFP scope, as you turn magnification up or down, that the elevation erector changes values with each click? So at X magnification each click would be 1/4 MOA, but at Y magnification each click would be 1 MOA and so on? Both FFP and SFP "should" have the same erector correctional values per click of the turret, regardless of what magnification it is set at. By "dialing elevation", you're not talking about the reticle sub tensions changing in relation to the magnification setting, right?

One hopes atse was referring to SFP reticle sub tension ranging values changing with magnification, rather than turret clicks on either type of focal plane.
I often, as well, have a hard time translating thoughts/doings into written words.
