    Rifle Scopes FFP or Not??

    Re: FFP or Not?? Yeah I got the Vortex 6-24 SFP but I don't shoot movers and stuff. It is a really nice scope. It should serve me well as I learn long range shooting. I hope to be worthy of a .338 with a S&B in a couple of years. It sure would help with these Oklahoma winds.

    Rifle Scopes FFP or Not??

    Re: FFP or Not?? I HATE math! I thought it was the FFP reticle that got smaller as you zoomed in or out. Jesus! I researched the crap out of all of this before I bought my scope. I read countless FFP vs SFP threads ( none of which caused me near the headaches as this). I want to be able...

    Rifle Scopes FFP or Not??

    Re: FFP or Not?? Why wouldn't they be accurate? You just need a multiplier. I understand the problem of doing the math on the fly with multiple targets at varying distances or movers. I have stated multiple times that this is where FFP shines. I don't shoot tactical competitions, nor...

    Re: FFP or Not?? Good God! 1. I don't know why you are pretending to have such a low opinion of yourself yet again in this thread. My post was only a joke. Your feigned innocence does not hide your antagonistic attitude. Have the balls to stand behind what you say. It obviously was meant...

    Rifle Scopes Ranging with NF NP-R1

    Re: Ranging with NF NP-R1 It would be great if someone could post the same basic shots with FFP in this thread as a comparison for other shooters. I, personally, do not like the shrinking reticle. For me they get too hard to read at lower magnification. They block out the target and the...

    Rifle Scopes FFP or Not??

    Re: FFP or Not?? And you sir are to be commended. In your situation, the FFP would be the better of the two. One scope type does not cover everything. I get tired of people recommending a reticle without taking into account the specific use it will be used for. Each one excels in it's own...

    Rifle Scopes FFP or Not??

    Re: FFP or Not?? I just don't see how one can accurately range a 9" x 6" target at less than max magnification with an FFP. The differences in subtensions are EXTREMELY small at 24x with an SFP at any real distance. I can not imagine how accurately you could read them at 12x with the FFP...

    Rifle Scopes opinions wanted on vortex viper pst FFP

    Re: opinions wanted on vortex viper pst FFP All I had to do was tighten mine all the way down, as designed. Did a search on the hide under Vortex Viper PST battery cap and got no returns. I do not believe this is a known issue. At the moment, I'm inclined to believe it is a non-issue.
