First Focal Reticles - 05/09/22
I would like to purchase a FFP scope for my .264 win mag. I have never owned a FFP but I can see the advantage of the not having to have the scope set on one particular power for the reticle to be accurate at longer ranges.
It seems that most FFP scopes use some variation of a Christmas tree reticle, but I have looked through those and they are almost invisible at lower powers. This scope will be on a whitetail gun with shots from 500 to as close as 25 yards. We hunt till dark here in SC and so I need crosshairs I can see. I realize many of the Christmas tree reticles can be illuminated, but they are still extremely thin.
I have a Leupold VX6 with a fire dot that is fabulous in low light ( you can turn it very dim so that it not blind you or block out a portion of the target. Something like that on a FFP scope would probably work for me.
Please give me your suggestions.
