I love to see guys show up with their ?2.5-12? optic, duplex reticle, capped turret scope sighted in at 300 yds... Raggedy ole boots from miles of walking and ready to hunt... They are at PBR from 0 out to 350 or so and if its further than that we can creep in and get stuff killed... Those days are gone...
Same here. Great post, btw. Crap....I bought new boots last year and chunked the worn our leaky ones

so what about FFP with illumination? how does that suck as a hunting scope There hasn't been a YouTube video made on the topic but when there is one CC will let us know what we are to think about it for sure. Stand by...

FWIW I could care less what comes from where....but I use both plane reticles. For most of my style of hunting, SFPs are as perfect today, as anything. For my tactical/ELR stuff, I do like the FFP, but it can be handicapped in certain scenarios, w/o illum OR w/o using in conjunction with NV/IR/thermal. That's all just me. Others should do whatever the feel a need to.

![[Linked Image]](http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp311/patrickgsinclair/november085.jpg) 40 meter shot made with said scope set at 3X.....how did I ever pull that off? Maybe I just aimed down the barrel... I thought only Schidt and Bendover scopes were worth owning? Where's your 200" mule deer?

Oh woww!, You shot the buck of my dreams! How did you do it with bright blue tape on your scope? I thought an accomplished hunter would know that color spooks game.

Ahh, I remember the days when folks here thought everything with the Bushnell name was categorically junk. Me, I love their less expensive Elite 2.5-10x40's and for the coin, they too are a hellava scope.

...How did you do it with bright blue tape on your scope? I thought an accomplished hunter would know that color spooks game. I know, shaking my head, next thing he'll tell us is that he was using match bullets when he did it. Pat could probably do better with iron sights than I could with the best scope in the world. I think an earlier poster was just a little envious of the success when the S&B comment was made. Personally, I loved FFP the first time I used one and was going to switch all mine over but found my eyesight is bad enough that I have trouble focusing the reticle on most FFP scopes. For some reason, SFP does not give me that issue so I have some of both.

The earlier poster is an idiot who has reincarnated himself several times on the fire. And he's just stupid. Don't try to over-analyze his single-celled brain with emotions such as envy. He's just plain dumb.
I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.

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. Same here.

my views are subject to change based on reason, experience, and logic. but thats not what I see from those advocating FFP on HUNTING scopes. How are we supposed to know your experience if you never post about it? That was my point. Without creating some bona fides, I'm gonna consider that you are talking out your ass. It's really not about you or the hunting stickers on your truck window...
