As a basis for comparison, I have a Rem M700 .223 varmint gun that wore a NF NXS until I put it on something that sees more use. At a local shop, I looked through a 6-24 PST with the reticle in the second focal plane and liked it but am wondering if the FFP reticle is suitable for zapping varmints. Unfortunately, the shop did not have an FFP model. Specifically, I shoot ground squirrels and rock chucks at a max range of 3-400 yards. I am curious if the FFP reticle is too thick in the higher magnifications to obscure the little guys. Can anybody who uses either scope for varmint hunting provide input? Thanks.
