Looking at the 4-14x44 FFP Falcon Menance. My question to owners concerns reticle thickness. Does the reticle get too thick at max power. Will it obscure the target at close range (100 yards). Would I be better served with the 4.5-18x56 with the SFP. Thanks

No problem here.

I have no problems but I haven't taken it past 200 yet.

At 600 I was still able to quarter a pasty that would've been equivocal to 3/4s MOA I believe at full magnification, if that assures you in any way.

i don't think its to big would say it covers less than .5 moa and probably more like .2-.3 moa in my opinion it just right but i dont like skinny reticules anyway adam

Darkarcher is a wise man. thats what i would have said.
and i have no problem shooting/seeing 12gram co2's at 100 at any mag. and if your just shooting paper a sfp would be nice, but if your shooting multiple targets in a short amount of time a ffp is great

Re: Question for Falcon Menance owners
Lets think about this for a minute.
The purpose of FFP is so that you can range/hold at any power. If punching eeeety-beeety groups in paper at close range is the goal, then the 4-14xFFP is probably not the optimal choice.
Now having said that, I don't have any problems shooting sub 1" groups at 100 yards with it.
What I would be more worried about is how much of the target it obscures at long range. At over 1K you will still be able to see a man sized target with the reticle over it.

Well, they have two reticles available in it the 4-14. Also will have the 5x25 FFP out soon. And that will have the ML16 and the other mil reticle as well.

Re: Question for Falcon Menance owners
Yes, it does get thick.
But you need to determine if that is even a factor for your setup.
For instance, mine is setup on my 10/22 trainer.
The accuracy of this system is 1/2 MOA at best so if the reticule is covering the target and the reticule covers .06 MRAD at 100 yards, then that shot should be a hit.
(The lines are .06 MRAD in thickness.)
.3 MRAD = 1 MOA
1 MOA @ 50 Yards = .5235"
1 MOA @ 100 Yards = 1.047"
1 MOA @ 200 Yards = 2.094"
1 MOA @ 500 Yards = 5.235"
1 MOA @ 1000 Yards = 10.47"
