Looking for insights on the S&B 12-50.

Questions:
1) Finest reticle option (i.e. narrowest reticle)? (Does SFP go even narrower relative to FFP?)
2) Useability of scope at 50x?
3) Eyebox--does it tighten up like a March at high magnification?

Application will be for a high-end 22LR to shoot groups at 200Y/300Y.

I know the 5-25x will work for this--looking for insights with the 12-50.

Thanks
 
Eh...the high magnification plus fine turret values make it better for benchrest than long range, though apparently there's a 1/4MOA version that's got a decent amount of elevation. For ELR shooting, 25x is normally plenty and any more often becomes a problem mirage or tight FOV getting back on target. It's a niche optic, for sure.
